MY THREE “paranormal” romance novellas, Uninvited, Unfinished Business, and Unusual Attention, were originally written for the anthology series Gothika. I was blown away when I was asked to participate, because I would join such wonderful authors as Eli Easton, Kim Fielding, Sue Brown, Jamie Fessenden, and later, F.E. Feeley, Jr., for this amazing project. And I was just as crushed when the volumes went out of print.
But then Elizabeth North gave me an amazing opportunity to have my stories published as standalones! What’s more, I’m a better developed writer today, and I was able to brush them up and even expand a bit on some of the concepts, especially here in Unusual Attention.
I hope you enjoyed this book and hopefully the other two stories as well! If you liked them even half as much as I enjoyed writing them, then my job has been joyfully done!
I want to give special thanks to a number of people.
To Jamie Fessenden for getting me involved in the first place. And to Eli and Kim for welcoming me in. It was a dream come true.
To Lynn West for helping me with the “Un.”
To Andi Byassee for the major fix she did!
To Scottie, Paul, Cammie, and Jamie for baseball stuff.
To Chrissy, and my husband Noah for research… geez, do you guys ever get tired?
To Paulie for urging, rooting, and cheerleading me on… and never stopping. I miss you so much.
To Mary Minden—Oh my God, you were invaluable! Thank you for letting me into your home and confidence. I hope I did you justice.
And to my husband Raymond—of course—who puts up with so much so I can do what I love, what I was meant to do.
And to anyone else I’ve forgotten on this late night.
You all are my family.
Oh! And to Betty, Barney, Kathleen, Whitley, Travis, Charles, Casey, Mark, Vickie, Colby, Allen, and so many more. You lived it. I really think it’s very possible you did.
