Acknowledgements

Writing a book, not to mention a series, is a daunting task. Aside from creativity and time, it seems to take endless hours of reading your work until you’re literally sick of it. Through this process I learned so much, but there are three things that top the list. First, it’s important to take constructive criticism for what it is—feedback that will only help you improve. Second, letting something sit or taking time away isn’t a bad thing, and is sometimes a must for the creative juices to churn once again. Coming from years of working in office environments, this was the hardest thing to adjust to because I felt in order to be productive, I had to work every day. I finally learned that in some creative careers, forcing yourself to work every day or for set times during the day isn’t necessarily the right thing to do to inspire your brain. Third, writing is a labor of love and making something just right takes time as well as obtaining opinions from others. I’ve lived with these characters for almost ten years and I owe it to them to make their story a good one. You better believe I took time and asked for others’ thoughts.

And now for the usual thanks. To my husband, Bryan, for understanding that my choice in career isn’t necessarily going to pay the bills all the time. I appreciate all your support—both emotional and monetary! To my intuitive and intelligent daughter, Nyah, for having that critical eye for detail even when I’ve lost mine from seeing the words on the page too long. Thanks to my editors, Toni and Bobbie, for your patience and feedback—you’ve helped me do right by these characters. Last, but certainly not least, thanks to my friends, fans, and the rest of my family members who continue to support me in this crazy life of writing!

For Will. You are and will always be deeply missed.
