Acknowledgements

There are several people I need to thank for all their continued help and encouragement.

In no particular order:

My editor, Paul Martin of Dominion Editorial.

My cover artist, Starla Huchton. This is our third collaboration, and she continues to be amazing!

My wife Chrissie. Without your support I couldn’t do this work. There are not enough words to express what you mean to me.

My beta readers for helping me to make sure that my protagonist (antagonist?) was written without some of the more glaring, annoying traits other male writers tend to use for female characters. Thank you to Stephanie Manfre and Karyn Driscoll

My dad, for buying everything I write. My stepdad for being a regular reader of my blog. My mom, stepmom, and sister for your ongoing support and encouragement.

All my friends who continue to offer encouragement and support as I expand my catalog.

Thanks to everyone following along on social media as I yap on about this process.

Last, and certainly not least, YOU. I have nothing but appreciation for my readers, and I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
