The two of you have been through this series with me from page one. I’m not sure how you made it through the 5 or 6 rewrites of Becoming Alpha as I struggled to hone the craft. It had to have been painful, since I’d never taken a writing class before… Oy vey!

Thank you for sticking with me.

Thank you for pushing me to make the story better.

Thank you for telling me to keep going when I thought about quitting in the middle of the second act of every book in this series.

I couldn’t have done it without y’all. <3
