Michael (16 page)

It’s been a long road. It seems like these characters have been a part of my life forever. Michael, Jayda, and Liam started this journey with me in 2011.  Little did I know that each of their stories would take on a mind of their own. Nothing could have prepared me for the trials that they endured. Writing these books; Healing Wounds, Secrets Kept, All I Ever Wanted, gave me so much joy. But honestly, I cried a lot, I toyed with life altering character plots and in the end I think everything happened just the way it was meant to.

These stories wouldn’t exist without loyal readers. I can’t describe what it feels like to have a stranger message me asking for release dates or insider information. I’ve even formed new friendships because of these characters.

Michael, the final story in this crazy adventure is for you. I hope it left you feeling as complete as I did when I wrote the final words. May you continue to read and support indie writers.

Thanks to my family for putting up with my moods and time spent writing as this story developed. It means a lot that you all support me the way that you do.

Thanks to Zeke’s for being my Saturday writing zone and coffee spot. I appreciate the warm personalities and delicious coffee.

And a very special thank to Kristi Tailor for being my sounding board for novel after novel.
