  THE END

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I would to thank several people who helped make this book happen.

  First and foremost is Jay Hartman of Untreed Reads. He rejected my short story “Eggnog” for the anthology The Killer Wore Cranberry, but then asked me to expand on the story and make it into a novella. Lost in Clover wouldn't exist without him.

  I’d also like to thank the first readers of my rough draft: Alex, Amulet, Andy, Dylan, Kevin, and Sachin. And a big thanks to Stephen and Sarah, whose critiques firmed up the final draft.

  Finally, a huge shout out to Teresa, who deals with my misuse of commas, missing articles and other grammatical infractions…yet still sticks around. Lucky me.
