I’d like to start by thanking my family and friends for supporting me throughout this amazing journey. Without your love and encouragement, I would never have written, and finished, this series.

Every author should be so lucky to work with Kris Kendall, who made the editing process smooth and kept my anxiety levels low. You’re truly (
←adverb alert) a delight to work with and I’m in your debt for birthing this series with me, through affectionate guidance. Thanks for not letting me chicken out. Hugs!

Thank you Claudia McKinney of Phatpuppy Art for the cover design.
Your vision was spot on, and it was so much fun creating this world with you visually.

A huge thanks to the beta readers, specifically: Sara Dustin, Maureen Switalski, Kaylee Murdoch, Meghan Tate and others, for your dedication toward this book and these characters.

Terri at My Book Boyfriend Blog thanks for agreeing to be my first reviewer and turning the review into a beta reading. Your honesty and feedback made this story ten times better.

Paula (a
.k.a MOM) thanks for believing in me enough to get excited about, and read, a New/Young Adult Paranormal Romance. A special debt of gratitude to my sister-in-law Deb who kept my secret, my brother Michael for your encouragement, my sister-in-law Leigh who helped secure beta readers and my brother Dan for the amazing website - which I keep touching, and he keeps fixing. To my mother-in-law Darlene and sister-in-law Stacey, thanks for all your support, always!

To the real Bert: Sara Dustin, my friend, sister, and partner-in-crime with whom I’ve shared countless
book ‘boyfriends’ and love stories with. Thank you my dear friend, for your unwavering friendship over the years. All my love: Ernie.

It’s my hope that I’ve proven to my daughter Maddison that no matter where you are in your life, your dreams and desires can be accomplished. Always reach for the stars my little rainbow! Mommy loves you and each night will see you in the morning light.

Last but by no means least, thank you to my husband Dave, whose unconditional love and support helped me face my fears and achieve my dream. You allowed me to talk incessantly about the ‘voices in my head’ without having me committed and for that, I love you. Thanks for reading your first New/Young Adult Paranormal Romance and actually bribing me for more chapters as you ran out and believing in me enough to buy the first book.

Finally to the readers
, thank you for taking this journey of self-discovery, love and sacrifice with me.
