The Keepers: Declan (27 page)
Read The Keepers: Declan Online
Authors: Rae Rivers
I once thought that it takes one person to write a book but since publishing my first book in my Keepers series, I’ve come to realise that it takes an army.
This series wouldn’t be what it is today without the help of
my
army:
My lovely editor, Emily – you’re like my own editing ninja that lights up my manuscript with your enthusiastic red marker magic during edits, taking my stories to a new level! Thank you for all your encouragement, notes, chats and ideas – and for helping me to tell my stories in the best way possible. (And thanks to Genevieve for your input in
Declan
too!)
The rest of my editors at HarperImpulse – Kim, Charlotte and Katie – you are such a dynamic group and I’m thrilled to be working with you. Thank you for always listening and for everything you do for me!
My author friends that I chat to daily via social media. We’ve never met but you all make me smile and I treasure your continuous input and support.
My parents, family and friends – thank you for being so patient and still loving me even when I miss your messages or don’t pay attention when working under a deadline. A special thanks to Lisa for always being my sounding board for ideas and helping me to put things into perspective! I love you all so much.
The wonderful book bloggers who have been so enthusiastic and supportive of my series – and me! Thank you!
And of course, my amazing readers across the world. Wow, your daily messages mean so much to me. A huge thank you for reading my books and for sharing your enthusiasm! I can’t wait to share more stories with you!
