This series has been a journey. I started Becoming Alpha as my thesis project for my MFA in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would turn into a series this long or with this many readers.
Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with Tessa, Dastien, and their friends.
I had a few mentors at Seton Hill, but I had so many amazing professors and critique partners that helped me get the first book into shape. I don’t think I can list them all, but they know who they are. ;)
Two critique partners stand out above the rest because they turned into my developmental editors. Kime Heller-Neal (books 1-2 & 7-9) and Lola Dodge (books 1-7). They both got me through all of these books and helped me keep my sanity.
Sharon K. Garner is my copyeditor. She catches all my typos.
Ana Cruz Arts did all the covers. She’s amazing, y’all.
I find the acknowledgements harder and harder to write. It’s usually the same old thing, which is why I just listed off people above.
But I’m still writing this because I wanted to say thank you again to the readers and fans. You guys are the best. I would’ve stopped the series so much sooner if you guys hadn’t been around, urging me to keep going, asking for more, and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you.
