Fury of Obsession (Dragonfury Series Book 5) (40 page)

Acknowledgments

Some books are harder to write than others.
Fury of Obsession
was one of those books. The writing of it challenged me in new and unexpected ways, making me dig deeper, helping me understand the living, breathing quality of a story better, forcing me out of my comfort zone and into the truth of my characters. I fell head over heels for Venom, hero of this book, the moment I met him. He made me laugh and cry and hope for something better. I’m so glad he found that
something better
in Evelyn and finally arrived at his happily-ever-after.

Tremendous thanks to my literary agent, Christine Witthohn. You are, without a doubt, the best of the best.

Many thanks to my editors, Helen Cattaneo and Melody Guy. Thank you for all your hard work. Your support and enthusiasm for my books make the entire process an absolute pleasure. And to the entire Amazon Publishing team whose talents and commitment are second to none. You amaze me constantly. It’s fantastic working with all of you!

To my friends and family—thank you for dragging me out of my office and away from Storyland every once in a while for some much-needed R & R. I love you all.

Last, but never least, to Kallie Lane, fellow writer, critique partner, and friend. Thank you for all the BS sessions, early morning phone calls, and being so honest. You make me better. You always have. Thank you!

I raise a glass!
