Without the help of others, this book would never have come to be what it is. I’m always amazed and grateful for the amount of talented, helpful readers, editors, friends, and family who support and assist me with my writing endeavors.
Gaby Michaelis, my great beta reader, gave me great feedback that I hope I put to good use. My wonderful author friends, Lorin Grace and E.B. Wheeler, have been awesome at telling me what I have missed. They’ve all contributed to making Cassandra’s story better.
The dear editor I’ve been with for years now, Sotia Lazu, is fantastic. Though I’ve never met her in person, I consider her more than an editor, but a friend. She makes me work hard at my books, and I love her for it. I would in no way come close to being the sort of author I want to be without all that she has taught me.
My amazing proofreaders that helps polish my words so well, Stephanie Parent and Gaby D’Aloia, do such a great job. Sands of Deceit would have been messier and harder to read without thier taking a fine tooth comb through my manuscript.
I am blessed enough to have three great kids. My life is so much better for having them. Not only are they patient with me when it’s time for me to write, but they also give me ideas for books with ways to incorporate those ideas into my story. Tai, Xandria, and Will, Momma loves you!
My husband, Erik, continually listens and helps with ideas. More importantly, he loves me and aids me in becoming the person I want to be. I couldn’t ask for a better companion in my life. Thank you for all you do.
