People Who Help
The Witches would like to thank the many individuals and organizations that
make our books fly:
Individuals
Mike Doyle, retired English professor and life-time poet, gave us salient advice and
gentle edits.
Elisabeth Langford, editor, and Patty Archer, poet and small press-person, not only extended to us lots of advice and friendship, but endless feedback on apostrophes, commas and dangling participles!
J.C. Sulzenko (www.bluepoodlebooks.com), fellow writer, listened, encouraged and nudged us in the right direction.
The Ladies of the Pansy Village took on tasks when we asked, and sometimes before we knew we needed it. Whether it was cupcake making, face painting, jelly bean bag tying, they are an amazing cheering section! Special thanks to Joy (our Wilhelmina) for Facebook duties and ‘tea and sympathy’!
Anthony Lefresne is our cute Latvian Delivery Boy, and has saved the day on more than one occasion!
Dave Drapeau is our dashing photographer and the handyman with the most tools.
David Lawrence gives us glowing reviews.
Donald and Margaret Atkinson are our top sales people and biggest supporters.
Steve Miles our super patient videographer/sound guy.
