Acknowledgements and Author’s Note

Authoring a book is a labor of love and the work of many hands. I’d like to thank Jane Haertel, my editor on this project. You wield a mighty sword in that pen of yours, my friend! Thanks also to Sheryl Kaleo, my insightful critique partner. I appreciate your diligent effort, careful eye, and amazing analysis. To Gina Beach, my super fabulous proofreader, who catches everything I’ve missed and encourages me with her enthusiasm. I’d also like to thank Kim Killion and the folks with The Killion Group, who designed the new covers for the trilogy. I couldn’t be happier!

A special thanks to my writer pals both online and off, who offer constant support and insight into this crazy business of writing and publishing.

A huge thank you to my husband, friends and family, for loving and supporting me, even when I crawl into my writer’s cave for days at a time to hang out with imaginary people.

Most importantly, thank you, dear readers. Your honest reviews, positive feedback, and heartfelt comments are appreciated more than you know. Without you spreading the word and sharing your love of books with friends and family, this epic adventure of Lily Carmichael and friends would fall into the land of obscurity—sure to be missed by teens, and teens at heart everywhere.

Dedication

To Riley, whose smile lights up my life.

Your precious innocence and beautiful soul give me hope for a bright tomorrow.

Healing Waters, Book Three in the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael Trilogy, picks up with sixteen-year-old genetically enhanced Lily Carmichael and friends in the midst of a daring escape from Las Vegas.

In this final installment, Lily faces her ultimate challenge. After a failed rescue attempt, with no home to return to, Lily and Will reunite to join with her uncle and his Network of rebels, taking on Vice President Malevich and his army of agents, drones, and Guardians. With Malevich systematically enslaving the city-dwellers who depend on the New Government for their survival—he’s made it clear he will eliminate anyone who stands in his way.

Leading the rebellion while staying one step ahead of the Industry, Lily, Will, and their friends undertake a harrowing journey from the desert southwest to the new capitol in Chicago, where they’ll face a fight to the death. But Lily’s greatest gift—her driving instinct to heal and protect—may also be her greatest enemy. As Lily’s abilities grow, can she do what it takes to save humanity, while taking down the madman bent on destroying it?

WANING MOON

RT Book Reviews called it,

“An action packed read with a strong female lead.”

Western Desert

Tahlia Newland, reviewer and founder of Awesome Indies says,

“Better than a lot of mainstream books. This dystopian/post-apocalyptic series should be as popular as The Hunger Games.”
