To Sally Broaddus, Reese Broaddus, and Malcolm Broaddus, thank you for your constant love and belief in me. It’s been a long journey. Without you, I would be nothing.
To my friends (who are the family of my heart), the list grows longer every time and for that I’m grateful. I thank you so much and love you from the bottom of my heart: The Indiana Horror Writers, Brian Keene, Wrath James White, Gary Braunbeck, Lucy Snyder, Steve & Becky Gilberts, Debbie Kuhn, Richard Dansky, Lucien Soulban, John C. Hay, Doug Warrick, Kyle Johnson, and Daniel and Trista Robichaud.
Gerald McCarrell, Jon Harp, Donnell Stewart, Dan Bush, Jason Sizemore and Jerry Gordon.
And Chesya Burke.
Thanks to the great crew at Angry Robot for the opportunity, the support, and the great covers: Marc Gascoigne, Lee Harris, Steve Stone, and Joey HiFi.
Thanks especially to the staff and kids of Outreach Inc. Your stories are an inspiration. Stories of tragedy. Stories of redemption. Stories of resurrection. Stories of transformation. Stories of hope.
