Acknowledgments

This was a great journey for me, but I wouldn’t be here without the help of others. I would like to thank, in no particular order,

My amazing editor, Laura Petrella. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and I do not know where I would be without her. She is a bright star in my publishing process, and I always look forward to working with her. I can be assured that she will help me produce the best product possible. Even Evaran has commented on how great she is! This is my seventh book with her, and I am proud to call her my editor!

My cover artist, Tom Edwards (tomedwardsconcepts@gmail.com), for another great cover. He continues to create fantastic art, and I am glad to be working with him!

My family and friends who helped encourage me along the way.

My proofreader, Graham, from Fading Street Publishing, and Alexa for doing a great job making that final pass to ensure everything looked good.

My formatter and interior designer, Colleen Sheehan (www.wdrbookdesign.com/), for always taking the time to help me out. She makes each page shine, and as always, I’m glad we have a great working relationship!

My beta readers, Montzalee Wittman and Dennis Michaels, for taking the time to help out!
