My love for science fiction is still strong, and I am so glad that my readers still find my sci-fi stories to be to their liking! Thank you, dear readers, for emails, notes, Facebook greetings, and general encouragement. Building worlds is difficult, but so very rewarding. For my readers to enjoy entering my worlds and the space where my characters live their lives is quite magical.
My editor, Dr. Shelley Thrasher, is the person who makes sure my books are the best they can be. We have worked together on eighteen books now, and quite a few short stories, and I can’t imagine my writing experience without her. Always supportive, always frank in the kindest of ways, and great to work with, I just love you, Doc.
I want to acknowledge Len Barot—aka Radclyffe—my publisher who has created such a nice home for her authors. Also, my heartfelt thank you to Sandy, Connie, Stacia, Cindy, Lori, proofers, etc. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed and are very much appreciated.
My first readers who help me through the earliest draft by spotting mistakes and other issues—and generally giving their opinion: Laura, Eden, Maggie and Sam—you are all such troopers!
On a personal note…nobody writes in a vacuum. My family, both biological and chosen, mean the world to me, and without their encouragement and appreciation, I would not be able to push through those moments when health and lack of stamina throws a wrench or two in the wheels.
Lastly, but no less importantly, as a dog lover I know that my life will keep being blessed with my canine family members. We just welcomed a Russian girl, a white mixed breed we call Esti, and together with our retriever mix Hoshi, she will be much loved and cared for.
