ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

––––––––

This book wouldn’t exist without some very patient beta readers who read quite a few versions of this while I deleted, tweaked, and overall butchered it until Kas and Gem finally sorted themselves out.

I’m ever so grateful to all of you—Danielle, Cyn, Heather, Melissa, Selena, Vickie, Tamicka, Rochelle, Nicole, and Effie.

Thanks to Danielle for taking on the role as my online PA and taking control of emails and so many other things.

Thanks to Tor and Charley for the flawless audio.

Thanks to Ari for such a gorgeous cover.

Thanks to Selena for running Pepper’s Playground.

Thanks to every reader, blogger, and reviewer for taking the time to read Fable of Happiness.

And thanks to Daniel, a good friend who suffered a severe concussion like Kas and is the inspiration for a lot of Kas’s symptoms. He shared his experiences with me and confessed to the sudden blankness, the vertigo, the headaches, the mood-swings, and the overall discomfort while he healed. I also took reference from this site for further research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK185340/

If you, or anyone you know, has suffered sexual abuse, please know you’re not alone. There are many amazing groups and counselling available in your area. Please reach out.

Sending hugs and love,

Pepper
