Dear Reader,

How can I say goodbye to Grim? Sometimes when an author begins a series, we have no idea that certain characters will steal our hearts more than others. Of course we fall in love with our heroes and we root for our heroines. In the Brimstone world, there are dark forces that try to keep men and women who are irresistibly drawn together apart. I’ve loved every moment of defeating darkness with their passion and perseverance!

But I had no idea when I created a hideous hellhound with a heart of gold he would stay with me long after I typed The End.

Grim is a monster born in the flames of the hell dimension. He’s also a hero and a wanderer. He’s drawn into the lives of those who need him. And he’s loyal to his loved ones in ways that I hope honor all the real-life canines I’ve known.

Dear, dear Grim. With you I celebrate four-legged heroes. Long may they save.
