There is only one person I’d like to dedicate Diamond to. Michelle (Chelle) Olson. To say that she’s a phenomenal person is an understatement. I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure there were times, and she knows what I’m talking about, when she wondered what planet I was born on, or why I would even think to add such a thing to the story. Well, according to one reviewer at PW, (not quoting verbatim) I write such things with relish and glee. I think we both put more than our blood, sweat, and tears into this story. My entire heart went into this adventure, and I truly think Chelle’s did too. You asked all the right questions, and pushed me farther than most would, and I am truly grateful. I want to point out, that during the course of this Diamond in the rough, I may have watched the Never Ending Story, just so I could scream at the end…”MOON CHILD!” Or “The Nothing.”
You are my Peacock, Chelle, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Here’s to many more moments of craziness from me.
