My publisher wanted a dedication for my book. I jumped at the opportunity.

Here is that dedication:

To my wife, Linda, and my children, Kristen, Morgan, and Sawyer.

They give me a warm, full life that inspires me to write that also includes two beautiful grandsons, Aiden and Callan.

However, this is the dedication I wrote:

This book is dedicated to my wife Linda and my children Kristen, Morgan, and Sawyer. They give me a warm, full life that inspires me to write that also includes two beautiful grandsons, Aiden and Callan.

I would also like to thank the writing community of Oshkosh.  The Lakefly Writers Conference, The Oshkosh Area Writers Club, and The Caramel Crisp Writers teach me and inspire me.  Special thanks to Ruth Percey who created this community I love, and to Dixie Jarchow who is my partner on our show The Author Showcase and my partner-in-crime any other time.

Has anyone else had their dedication messed with?
