Inferno: A Devil Chaser's MC Romance (20 page)

I stared at the picture in my hand for another hour, then I picked up my phone and tried calling her again. When she didn’t answer, I became even more worried.

“Where the hell is she?” I shouted.

ACKNOWLDEGEMENTS

I have so many people I need to thank for making this book possible. First, I have to mention my brother. He passed away a year ago, and he inspired me to finally start living the life I wanted to live. You never know how much time we really have, and he made me realize that every moment counts. We shouldn’t wait for things to get easier or wait until we have more time. So, I decided to finally take that step and write my book.

This book wouldn’t have even been remotely possible if my co-author, Brooke Asher, hadn’t been there for me every step of the way. She was my guide through this crazy journey, and I couldn’t have done it without her. She helped with editing, writing, tweaking, and deleting. She even brushed a few tears away when I was utterly frustrated! She’s just plain awesome. Thanks girl! You rock!

A special thanks to Diamondback and Renegade from the Roughnecks MC. They were both willing to answer my questions about the club life and helped inspire some of the main characters of the book. While the dynamic of their motorcycle club is very different from the Devil Chasers, they helped with background information on their positions in the club. Diamondback is the Chaplain for the Roughnecks in Washington, while Renegade serves as the Sergeant of Arms in Tennessee. Renegade’s character will be the main focus in the second book of the series. Thank you both for all of your help.

I also want to thank one of my favorite authors, Cora Brent, for her help. She gave me tons of suggestions on how to publish my book, and I appreciate her help more than she will ever know. She is an amazing author, and you should really check out her books. My friend Jenny was one of my beta readers, and I appreciate her taking the time to read my book - piece by piece. She helped me stay on track and let me know when things needed redirection. Thank you both.

Finally, I couldn’t have done this without the help of my family. You have all been such a great support. Even though I wouldn’t let my mother read my book, she always supported me and encouraged me to keep going. Thank you all.
