I have so many people to thank.
First, to all the fans of the Enlighten Series. Thank you for sticking with me to the very end. Your many emails telling me about which character you love the most, when is the next book coming, to you inspire myself to write a book. I took all of those to heart, and ask that you keep sending them my way. I know it’s been a long time between Swords & Stilettos to Daggers & Dresses, but you all hung in there and coaxed me to finally write this last book. So thank you for the continued encouragement.
To my wonderful editor Rebecca Jaycox. Yes, I know I like to use the words: smirk, grin, just, and what was that last one? Oh yes, slowly. Thank you for developing my characters and taking them to a deep more meaningful level. Without you, I don’t think I’d have cried at the ending of the series.
To Raquel Lyon of Crooked Sixpence Book Covers for another fantastic cover. You rock!!
To my beta readers: Genevieve, Jena, and Tiea. You’ve been with me since the very beginning and have read how my writing has grown over the years.
To the Six Queens: Rhonda, Sarah, and Hilary. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the great collaborative marketing effort. I know that we’ll smash it out of the park!
To the Indie Writing Community. Thank you for the words of wisdom, thoughts, suggestions, and everything in between.
To all my family and friends who have stood by me. For letting me indulge in sharing my stories with the world. It’s time away from you and the sacrifices made that allows me to do this.
And lastly, as the Enlighten Series draws to a close, I wouldn’t be where I am today, without my loving husband. I love you, Babe.
USA TODAY bestseller, Amazon bestselling, and award-winning young adult author, Kristin D. Van Risseghem grew up in a small town along the Mississippi River. Currently, she lives in Minnesota with her husband and a Calico cat, named Daizy. Kristin also loves attending book clubs, going shopping, and hanging out with friends. She has come to realize that she absolutely has an addiction to purses and shoes. They are her weakness and probably has way too many of both.
In the summer months, Kristin can usually be found lounging on her boat, drinking an ice cold something. Being an avid reader of YA and Women’s Literature stories, she still finds time to read a ton of books in-between writing. And in the winter months, her main goal is to stay warm from the Minnesota cold!
