The P.J. Stone Gates Trilogy (#1-3) (97 page)

I found myself watching her, even as she only went about her day-to-day life. I wanted to study her…know her, and I couldn’t bring myself to look away. I knew what had happened only after it was too late. I had bound myself to her magically, my obsession compelling me to do so without my conscious knowledge. We were now linked in the old way, and so when she had her first vision I stood beside her in her mind. I saw what she beheld and I knew that our world was in great danger. Yet… I still resisted the urge to rise from my centuries of sleep--a last bit of stubbornness on my part.

But then she found her way into
his
arms. Jealousy like I had never felt before coursed through my veins, burning me. It should have been my hands branding her creamy skin. It should have been my face that that her green eyes gazed at with adoration and love. My time for watching had come to an end. I would help her to save our world, and I would make her mine in the way that I already belonged to her. But I had to be patient…careful to not scare her away. I would only get one chance to make Paige Joplin Stone mine. And she would be mine…even after all others turned to dust.

Well this is the part where I get to thank all the people who made this book possible. I really hope I don’t leave out someone important. *Internally cringes*

First I’d like to thank my amazing Hubby, who is supportive and patient beyond the realm of what I imagine any normal man is . . . dah dah da duuuh . . . Super Hubby!

Next I would like to thank my parents for encouraging my love of reading and crazy imagination during my most impressionable years. Carnegie Library rocks!

Then of course there’s my kick ass Dragon Hussies/beta readers for this series: Kristin Bingham, Kellee Fabre, Shona Lawrence, Jessica Johnson, Sarah Ashley Jones, Bieke Paesen, and Lauren Reidy. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support! You ladies rocked it! I’m so lucky to know all of you, and I love you more than I’m comfortable expressing, being that I’m an emotional cripple sometimes. (Okay, most of the time. Lol)

Of course I need to thank Lindsay Tiry for her amazing cover designs! She always goes above and beyond for me and puts up with all of my ‘notes’. Anyone who doesn’t know what that means…consider yourself lucky. Ha! I also owe a ginormous thanks to Jordan P. Fremgen for his amazing logo designs for The P.J. Stone Gates Trilogy, along with the Anam Cara logos as well. Both artists extraordinaire!

Let’s not forget Amy from The Eyes For Editing! She made all the prettiness possible that’s happening within these pages.

I’d like to give an extra special thanks to Ren Reidy, and Mel Simmons for heading up the Tik Tok Press team. My books would probably disappear into the ether without you two.

Of course I’d like to thank Dragonfairy Press, Kenya Wright and Alicia Wright to be specific, for believing in me and my books, and for allowing me to go my own way with them when the time came. I love you guys!

And last but certainly not least: thank you to all the Book Bloggers and fans who keep me going! I wouldn’t be anywhere if not for you guys! I love each and every one of you! Big Booky Hugs!
