Note to Readers
Laura Scott
Christmas is a very special time of the year, one in which we should always remember our blessings. It’s been an honor and privilege to work on this series with such a talented group of authors.
I hope you enjoyed Faith and Pete’s story, along with the entire True Blue K-9 Unit series. I’ve spent time in New York, but not necessarily in Queens, so please forgive my mistakes, as they are truly my own.
I love hearing from my readers, and can be found through my website at www.laurascottbooks.com, on Facebook at Laura Scott Author and on Twitter, @laurascottbooks. I also offer a free novella for all newsletter subscribers. If you’re inclined to participate, you can join through my website.
Yours in faith,
Laura Scott
