The residents applauded. The solemnity of the ritual was broken. And the sun burned through the dense mist.
Nick and I came home and made love. A celebration of his birthday, and of life.

Dear Reader,
There are so very many people I’m indebted to for getting me through this process (finally) I don’t know that I’ll remember them all. But I’ll try.
Thank you…
To Mike Albov, friend, attorney, mentor, and ex-checker (that’s a pun, son).
To my amazing friends Roxie Anderson, Karen Dyson, Ann-Rodes Savage, Clayton Savage, Kris Sellgren, and Jean McKeon for always believing I could do this.
To my cousins Paul Rabbitt and Diane Goard for being that family I’d do anything for.
To my Aunt Lyda, just because.
To Mary Ann Dolphin, gone now but still my Idea Gal.
To my mother, who didn’t get to see this moment. I miss you every hour of every day, Mom.
To Mary Nugent, wherever you are, for introducing me to Salmon Beach.
To Kiara Rose for her beautiful photograph.
To all the people who’ve read my books and enjoyed them. I can’t tell you what a thrill that is.
And thank you to Michael P. Milligan, for your love, support, and calm demeanor in the face of my ever-present storm.

Annette Reynolds still lives in that house in Tacoma, Washington but now it’s 100 years old. Born in Greece, raised in California (Central and Southern), with a degree in Arts Management from Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, she seems to have stopped her peripatetic life for the time being. Her first novel, Remember The Time, was nominated “Best First Book” by the Romance Writers of America. A Sea Change is her second novel and she hopes to be at work on her third at any time.
