Читать книгу Wolf Tales IX - Kate Douglas - Страница 5

This series has taken me places I never expected to go, but it’s a journey I freely admit I haven’t made entirely under my own power. I’ve had the support of my agent, Jessica Faust of BookEnds LLC, who moves beyond any superlatives I can possibly conjure up—I consider her my friend, my mentor and my advisor—as well as a fantastic agent, one whose instincts are always right on target. My editor, Audrey LaFehr, gives me the kind of freedom many writers only dream of. Without her amazing support, Wolf Tales would not exist, and I can never thank her enough for the opportunities she and Kensington Publishing continue to give to me.

My thanks, as always, to my generous and talented beta readers: Karen Woods, Ann Jacobs, Sheri Fogarty, Camille Anthony, and Rose Toubbeh. These wonderful women find my mistakes and keep me on track. Their impressive skills combined with some truly wicked humor make the entire process of creating each new book in a continuing series a lot more fun than it probably should be. A special thanks to Rose for her expert suggestions regarding the California prison system—any mistakes in the story are my own, but Mik and AJ’s time in Folsom made a lot more sense after Rose pointed out quite a few things I needed to know.

To my readers—I can’t thank you enough. Many of you have become my friends and confidants over the years. Your support is a powerful incentive every day when I sit down to write.

Last of all, to my husband. There really are no words—and “thank you” doesn’t even come close.
