Firstly, thanks to Schwartzie, a black kitty first and a willing friend second, who puts up with me far too much on Facebook and many other mediums while I toiled away and was still willing to offer story and editing advice (but no thanks for insisting I rename Chelsea). More than just an editor, she has been a wonderful mentor and amazing wall upon which to throw my ideas.
To my other test readers, Cornell and Kaden, who suffered through the unedited manuscript despite it making no sense whatsoever and were still willing to politely lie and say they enjoyed it and offer advice along the way.
To Allison, for allowing me to use her namesake and image, more beautiful than the character could ever be.
To Erin, the reader of my final draft, who gave me the best feedback a new author could ever have gotten by reading the whole thing within the day and who’s first response was to ask excitedly for the next book.
