Acknowledgments

Len Barot, aka Radclyffe, publisher and owner of Bold Strokes books, thank you for believing in me, and for the enthusiasm with which you approach every new project. Your continued faith in my writing, as well as the example with which you lead, inspire me.

Dr. Shelley Thrasher, editor and my guiding light. You also serve as the copy editor for Warrior’s Valor, and your double duties are not going unnoticed. We make such a great team, and I already long for our next project!

Sheri, the cover is awesome. I’m delighted that you thought my 3D painted cover art was good enough to use for this book.

My beta readers and friends, Lisa, Sami, Ruth, Georgi, Jan, and Mary, all helped save me from myself

Thank you also to the gang of proofreaders and other BSB associates who helped this project along. I think Lori (Andy) deserves special thanks for everything she does for the BSB newsletter and the online bookstore.
