  A New Dance Blue Christmas

  Acknowledgements

  This book was written way back in 2009. At the time, I was just getting my feet wet in the publishing world and once the first draft was done, I set it aside to await editing and the querying process. Whenever I would talk about writing my mom would say, “You should publish it.” Well, Mom, thank you for nudging me along the path. It has been a rewarding journey in so many ways. You were right.

  Janet, you have been an overwhelming support and amazing critique partner. Thank you for the time you put into my writing.

  Cathy, your edits and suggestions took this dingy old manuscript and made it shine. Thank you for being honest in your feedback. It makes all the difference in the world.

  Audy, your eagle-eye proofreading is an amazing talent. I’m so blessed to know you.

  I can’t finish thanking people and not mention my hubby and kids. They are supportive to the 1000th degree and without them my life would be colorless.

  About the Author

  Lucy McConnell has always been a reader and a writer. Once caught up in a story, she disappears into a cave until the first draft is done. She writes fantasy, clean romance, Christian romance, historical fiction, and cookbooks (under the name Christina Dymock.)

  When she’s not writing, you can find her volunteering at the elementary school or her church, shuttling kids to baseball, soccer, basketball, or football, depending on the time of year; skiing with her family; wake boarding; cycling; or just curled up with a good book.
