For this book, I thanked my family, the editor who first published some of the stories, and my. CPs, but still worried I missed someone out! The dedication was to my late stepson who inspires me every day. I can't imagine not dedicating a book to him.Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-82834333225295159872015-06-09T19:14:15.784-04:002015-06-09T19:14:15.784-04:00Having a book dedication from Nora would be the pi...Having a book dedication from Nora would be the pinnacle. <br />Thanks for stopping by, commenting and following, Chrys.

Dee-Dee is in my writing group, and she told me about the call for submissions and brainstormed the initial idea with me. So if it wasn't for her, The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave probably wouldn't exist!<br /><br />Of course I'd love it if Stephen King would dedicate a book to me, but I'd be satisfied with a blurb. :)J.H.
