Fractured Past would not exist were it not for all of the incredible people who have walked this journey with me.

I’d like to thank the following:

My family—for the endless love and encouragement.

Reilly Vore—for being the first to hear any of my stories and dreaming alongside me.

Abbey Frisco—for sharing a love of story and cheering me on from wherever you are.

Alyssa Dixon—for constant support and laughter when I need it.

Dwight Brautigam, Tim Smith, and Jeffrey Webb—for seeing the potential in the quiet girl at the back of the class and helping me see it myself.

Huntington University History Department—for cultivating my love of the past and encouraging me to make my mark.

Molly Rose—for challenging me in my writing and helping me build the roots of this story.

Eric Koester—for giving me the tools to bring this series to life.

Brian Bies—for helping me craft a beautiful book.

Haley Newlin—for being the genesis of this incredible journey and encouraging me every step of the way.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who supported me during my pre-sale by pre-ordering Fractured Past, donating to the campaign, or spreading the word. Thank you for being the first ones to be excited about my story.
