Writing The Gift Legacy series has been an exciting and rewarding journey. What began as one book quickly morphed into a trilogy, which grew into a series. Along the way, I’ve met many generous, insightful and supportive people. Wings of Prey and the other Gift Legacy books benefited considerably from their thoughtful input.

I am indebted to beta readers Jean, Eleanor, Kathy, John, Gee and Sue. To Elinor, who was instrumental and supportive throughout the rebranding of The Gift Legacy series. To Nina Munteanu, who has edited and improved every Gift Legacy book. Nina is also a writing coach and author (https://ninamunteanu.me). To Rachel Small of Rachel Small Editing, who polishes prose like no one else (www.rachelsmallediting.com). To the Denman Writers’ Group, whose members critiqued scenes early in the process. To the owners and staff at Abraxas Books on Denman Island, who have supported me from the beginning.

To each of you, thank you. You inspire me, humour me, and drop my jaw with your kindness, your generosity and your enthusiasm.

Thanks to the design team at JD&J Designs for Wings of Prey’s enticing book cover design.

Last, but never least, heartfelt thanks to my husband and family for your unwavering support. None of these books would have made it into print without you.

All errors in the research and writing of this novel are entirely my own.
