We climbed over the railing and sat on the edge of the cliff, the sparkling lights of the city brightening the valley below. 

“Look.” Michael pointed to the lights of a plane flashing in the dark sky. 

There they go,
I thought, sending my wishes for love and happiness winging across the distance. 

And then I returned my attention to this world whose future I now held in my hands. Michael bumped his shoulder against mine.

In our hands
, he corrected.

In our hands.

If you enjoyed Destined and the Desolation Series,

I would be honored if you would leave a review

on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Goodreads, or wherever

you purchased the book from.

It would mean the world to me. Thank you!

This time, my readers really made a difference in how I wrote this book, how I felt about writing it, and how I felt about the story itself. I’ll admit that for a long while I doubted the value of Desi’s story because it was “too dark” or “too emotional” or too . . . whatever. But now I know that you get it. You get Desi. And for that there are not enough “thank you’s” in the whole wide world. 

Some amazing people have been involved in the nitty gritty of my writing life, and I’d like to thank them too . . .

My husband, David, for his unfailing support.

My critique group—Christine Bryant, Elana Johnson, Sara Oldes and Stacy Henrie.

My new (and holy-freakin’-cow-amazing) editor, Jen Hendricks.

Every member of the Indelibles, my amazing support group of indie authors who have cheered and encouraged me along the way (often pointing me in the right direction!).

And finally, a huge shout out to Dustin Hansen who gave Desi a face and is responsible for the beauty of
Destined’s
stunning, original, artwork.
