Lords of Retribution (Lords of Avalon series) (61 page)

As usual, there are so many people to thank!

First, I would like to thank my family (including godmother and god-brothers & sisters & families) and dear friends, especially Marci and Renee, whom I consider family, for all of their encouragement and support. I couldn’t do this without you! The rest of you all know who you are.

To Kerry Huber, my dear friend, who helps me through every step of every novel, by just listening and giving her opinions, sage advice and her encouragement. She helps me see things from a different perspective, which is so very helpful. She reads for me and helps me tremendously. She is like a sister to me, the best of friends. She keeps me calm and grounded. I could not do this without you, Kerry. Thank you. I am so happy to share that Kerry has finished her first novel, working title,
Fighting for Air
, a Paranormal/New Adult novel that will soon be released on Amazon!

To Elizabeth Lairmore, a dear friend, who gives me encouragement at every turn and keeps me digging in and
gettin’ ‘er done! She also keeps me calm.

A HUGE thank you to all of my fans, there are just too many of you to name on this page anymore. Without you, there would be no K. R. Richards. You are my bosses. I value your opinions! You are the reason I sit down and work hard every day. I am thankful for each one of you. I treasure you all and enjoy interacting with you on my pages. Thank you for your support, opinions, reviews, comments. The Lords of Retribution journey has been a particularly long one and I thank you all for supporting me during the family illnesses and tragedies through this particular book. I appreciate your support more than you will ever know. You are so important to me!

To Kerry Huber, Heather Reed and Wanda Cadle Cox who read Retribution for me pre-editing and helped me find all the crazy things I missed on the early reads. As ever, your help, comments and opinions matter so much.

To my friend, Jeff Garten, (the hardest hitting, heavy drummer I know) and his entire family, his wife Francesca and their daughters, who all sup
port me. Thank you all so much! Jeff is currently in the Phoenix area bands,
’56
and
Broken Toys
.

Music is a big part of my life so I must mention some of my favorite musicians, my friends in the Phoenix area, who have inspired me and blessed me for years with their musical talent,
Jeff Garten, Marty & Natalie Lucas
,
Mike Gilbert
,
Shane Martinez
, and
Tim Merrill
. Thanks for inspiring me with your musical talents. I miss you all!

To my Mississippi support team, my friends, Kaye, Kathy, Ann & Wanda, a huge thank you for your friendship and all of
your support. We will meet for Mexican Food and Margaritas soon. To LeAnn & Kira, now in TN! Miss you both so much.

To my friends and Spiritual Circle/support group in AZ. My AZ girls: Liz Rees, a.k.a.
Elizabeth Seer, author
, Sheila Leedy Ryan, Debbie Wassylenko, Shari Walrath, Jaci Gavnik, Jenny Jackson, Kim Cogill, Kia Velarde, Sarah Kaufman, Jennifer Johnson and Karen Marcom. Love you all!

To my friends from Starwood “SVO” Tempe/PHX. Miss you!

Thank you to my friend,
Connie Flynn, author, a.k.a. K.C. Flynn
for all the idea and brainstorming sessions re: Indie Promo. To
Jaclyn Reding, author
, for her support and friendship over the years. I would also like to thank all of my other author friends from my PHX RWA days! It’s so nice to keep up with you all on Facebook now.

To my Guardian Angels here on Earth,
Jimmy and Vicki West
, two absolutely amazing people. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. You are both so wonderful to me. I value your friendship. Love you both!

I must thank my Co-Admin and friend,
Elizabeth Lairmore.
We Co-Admin on two of the most respected Johnny Depp FB pages in Deppland: (The original)
JOHNNY DEPP ADDICTION
(Yes, there is an imposter page) and
THE MIND OF DEPP.
Liz was a Creator of
JOHNNY DEPP ADDICTION
(JDA)
,
and together, she and I created
THE MIND OF DEPP
(TMOD)
.
We take great pride in the fact that both of our pages show Johnny, his family, friends the
utmost
respect.

Liz works for another actor,
Danny Lopez
, the
World’s Greatest Johnny Depp Impersonator
and a talented actor in his own right. You may have seen him in film already, and you
will
see more of him in the near future, both in film and TV. I give a shout out to
Danny Lopez International
, truly an awesome group of people.

I want to thank
Danny Lopez,
personally
,
for including me in the
DLI
family and for taking me under his protective wing recently and including me in the protection of his team when we were being plagued by a stalker (whom we all inherited because we all have “something to do” with Johnny). Many others were affected also, because they are involved in Deppland in some way, shape or form.
Danny
, who is incredibly busy with his demanding and expanding career, took it upon himself to speak out about this person, and fight back. He took major steps to accomplish this and continues to do so.

Danny
has spoken out publicly about this particular subject and will continue. By speaking out, he has helped thousands of people to spot stalkers, fake profiles and get rid of cyber-stalkers. He became our protector and an advocate against cyber-stalking. He taught us what we need to know in dealing with these types of people.

I personally want to thank
Danny Lopez
for being there when I needed him. He is an awesome, caring person and I thank him for including me under his protection and taking the time to help and guide us in trying to rid ourselves of stalkers. Thank you so much,
Danny Lopez
.

Thank you all!

Peace, Love and Light!

Coming
Soon

I’m very excited about
The Cornish Rakes
series. These books will be smaller than the other series’ books and will center around one hero and heroine per book. There might be some history and adventure, but it will take a back seat to the romance. They will be set exclusively in some of my favorite places in Kernow. On occasion, characters from the Lords of Avalon series might make an appearance.

K. R. Richards is the Author of the
Lords of Avalon Series
, an adventurous, sexy, romantic, humorous romp through nineteenth century Glastonbury, Devon and Cornwall, England. Book 1,
Lord of the Abbey
, Book 2,
Lords of Honor
and a
Lords of Avalon series
companion novella,
Lord Greyton’s Fall from Grace
, along with the newest release, Book 3,
Lords of Retribution
, are all available on Amazon Kindle.

The Lords of Avalon are members of the Avalon Society, a historical and paranormal society. Did I mention the Lords of Avalon are referred to as the
Lusty Lords of Avalon
by the
Ton
? (
They are
!) K. R. likes to call them Alpha Geeks, because they are scholars who are highly intelligent, but oh so hot and sexy! People ask K. R. all of the time what her series is about. Instead of saying, “Well, it’s complicated,” she generally says, “It’s like Jane Austen meets Indiana Jones.”

Having definite New Age beliefs and being an intuitive medium, K. R. set out to combine her love of the Spiritual realm and mystic studies with her love of history and the Romance genre and the
Lords of Avalon series
was born.

K. R.’s other interests include reading, history, archaeology, genealogy, Yoga, Pilates, antiques, music and although she has long loved and appreciated photographic art, especially landscape photography, her newest interest is learning more about it. She is an avid and serious collector of crystals, gemstones and minerals.

K. R. currently lives in Mississippi though she calls Arizona home, and plans to someday return to her beloved desert (and her grandkids). She has two wonderful sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and two beautiful grandchildren. She has two cats and two dogs, a Border Collie-mix and a Collie, all rescues.

Coming in 2014 – the last book of the
Lords of Avalon
series,
Lords of Atonement
.

Coming Soon:

The Secrets of the Shroud
series, Book 1
Shadows and Secrets
