Dear Reader,

This is a book that I’ve had in the back of my mind for

over two years. I couldn’t get the premise to work at first,
so I mulled it over in my spare time and streamlined it
until I could get the plot just right. That happens a lot, with
books I love but can’t organize in any readable manner. So
I sort of work on them in my spare time until they become
presentable. It wasn’t until this year that I really began to
write Heart of Stone.

I was born in southwest Georgia, in Cuthbert, where my

sister Dannis and my niece Maggie still live. We had lots
of diamondback rattlesnakes in Randolph County, also in
Calhoun County, where my grandfather and grandmother
farmed. When I was a child, I had a hound dog companion
my exact age named Buck who was my protector. I was
nearsighted but nobody knew. It wouldn’t have mattered,
because sharecroppers were very poor. There was no
money for eyeglasses, no matter how necessary. One day
I started down a grassy path on Granddaddy’s farm and
Buck ran in front of me. There was a sound of sizzling
bacon (to this day it can freeze my blood just to hear it on
the stove), and Buck emerged with a dying five-foot rattler.
I might add, that in my part of the country, a five-foot
rattler the size of a man’s thigh was no rare thing. Buck
saved my life. The old dog died when he and I were both
twelve years old. I will never forget him. Without Buck, I
would never have grown up to be a writer in the first place.

As I wrote this book, I was remembering not only

rattlesnakes, but lazy summer nights sitting on the front
porch listening to crickets and hound dogs and watching
lightning bugs flash neon yellow while I ate boiled
peanuts. Sweet memories.
Your biggest fan,
Diana Palmer
