Acknowledgments

A huge thank you to my awesome readers, beta readers, my family, and everyone who made this book possible. Special thanks to Tiffany Turpin Johnson of TJ Writeography, and to Shelly Tegen of Acorn Editing. You both really pushed me to make this book a thousand tent poles stronger. Love you guys! Additional thanks to Eden Plantz for the perfect edits and proofread. I need someone like you in my corner catching all the commas I miss. Sebastian sends his love, too. An awesome read isn’t the same without an awesome package; and this particular package is all due to the brilliance of the amazingly talented artist, Adara Rosalie, and formatter Melinda VanLone. You ladies exceeded my expectations. Massive hugs to you both!

About The Author

Debra Kristi was born and raised a Southern California girl. She still resides in the sunny state with her husband, two kids, and four schizophrenic cats. Her love for the fantastical began at a very young age, when her imagination magically transformed the backyard swing set into the U.S.S. Enterprise. Since then she’s had a lifelong love of science fiction, fantasy, and creative storytelling. Unlike the characters she often writes, Debra is not immortal and her only superpower is letting the dishes and laundry pile up.
 

When not writing or chatting it up on social media, Debra is hanging out creating priceless memories with her family, geeking out to science fiction and fantasy television, and tossing around movie quotes.
