Acknowledgments

Ah, here we are.

The most difficult part of a book. Particularly a series-closer, when so much of my heart and soul is on the floor at the finish line.

(As it should be.)

First and foremost, to my team at KCW, what would I do without you? Samantha, Kaley, Mike, Kerri, Evan, Carol, Laila, Louise, Gemma, Darcee, Debbie, and Kim.

Beta reading. Proofing. Editing. Advance-listening. Dealing with my plethora of ideas. Thank you for all you are to me.

To my readers, an extra special thank you this time! Your ideas for amulet names were inspiring! I loved all the submissions and all the winners.

Artemis, JoLynn, J’net, the “Secret Alkarran Northern Network Master” Dean Webb, Kim, Ami Journey Gallier, Jule Webster, and Veronique. Thank you being part of Alkarra and my world. I’m grateful for your creativity with amulet names!

To my family, friends, dogs, and the mountains that deal with my incessant story ideas.

I love you all.

Now, let’s get back to Alkarra with more fantastic tales!
