With Gratitude for Your Support with Rusty -n- Nikki

The process of birthing a book into print takes a whole lot of folks…

Mary Bart Houston graciously hosted us for an afternoon and assisted by showing us around and taking out potential “stars” for us to photograph. Without their help, this book wouldn’t be as special as it is.
