ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book has been a work-in-progress for a couple of years now--much longer than that, if I am to count all of the thought and planning that went into the development of the Midnight Breed series from the time I first began writing it and adding pages of notes to my series "bible."

At first, I expected my notes would remain as background material whose only purpose was to help me remember my own series lore and character stats. But along the way, as the series gained popularity and readers started emailing me with thought-provoking questions about one thing or another, or asked me at book signings to explain things about the Ancients or the Breed or the Breedmates that wasn't necessarily in the text of the books, I realized that it could be fun to share all of my "insider info" with the fans of the series who had grown to love the Midnight Breed perhaps as much as I do.

I've had a lot of help from my husband and support staff at various times in compiling and editing the material contained in this Companion book, but no one has been more instrumental than my awesome Facebook admin and assistant (who also happens to be my lovely step-daughter and the mother of my first grandchild!) Heather Rogers. Thank you, Heather, for all of your effort, creativity and patience. I love you!

Of course, neither this book nor any of the others I've written would be possible without the love and encouragement of my husband, or the enthusiasm and support from you, my dear reader.

This book is for all of you, with love and gratitude.
