Weddings Can Be Murder (30 page)

I’d like to thank:

My agent, Kim Lionetti, who tolerates my wacky sense of humor and says yes to my crazy ideas, even if it means being tied up and videotaped. (You can see what I mean on my website,
www.Christie-Craig.com
.)

My editor, Chris Keeslar, who allows me just enough rope to swing on, but never enough to hang myself. (But save that rope, Chris, I might be making another video.)

Faye Hughes, my friend and writing partner on my nonfiction books. (Even though she insists I need a limit on the number of bathroom scenes in my books.)

Lieutenant D. R. “Duke” Atkins, Jr., with the Houston Police Department, who still talks to me even though I misspelled his name on my last acknowledgement page. (But honestly, if it bothered him so much, he could have his name changed.)

All my writing buddies, who are the glue that keeps this writer together and sane … well, mostly sane.

My daughter, Nina Craig Makepeace, whose wedding (though not one person was killed and no ring was ever flushed down the john) inspired this book.

 And my son, Steven Craig Jr., whose skill at humorous banter is mirrored in all my heroes.

MORE PRAISE FOR CHRISTIE CRAIG AND

is even funnier and a thousand times sexier.”
