For those of you out there who suffer from mental illness know that you aren’t alone. And that it’s okay. Reach out for help and you are strong. You. Are. Strong.

And to our friend wherever you are, I hope you are well. Thanks for being so open and honest with me about your struggles all those years ago.

Nyrae

Acknowledgement:

As always my family comes first. Thank you for dealing with me. I know I’m not always easy and when I get into my zone I sometimes block out everything else. I’m sorry for that and I love you. I couldn’t do it without you.

My readers. There aren’t enough words to thank you for supporting me. For taking this journey with me. There have been a lot of hard times. A lot. Most happen behind the scenes and what gets me through those times is you. Writing stories that I hope you will love. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving your time to me and my characters.

Thanks to Wendy Higgins, who is my first reader and my best friend. Love you! Also to Steph Campbell, Kelley York and Jolene Perry for always listening, even if you’re silently shaking your head at me. LOL. I couldn’t do this without you, my friends. I’m so lucky to have you! Hugs and love to you.

David James, Jamie Manning, Heather Young-Nichols, Sarah Arthur, Momo, Tricia, Melissa, Lenore, and I’m so scared I am missing someone. If I am, I’m so sorry! But thank you all for reading and helping me get this story into shape.

I am so lucky to be surrounded by such smart, cool people.

Books two and three of the Misfits series available in 2015.

About the author:

Writing has always been Nyrae Dawn’s passion. Even when she was too busy chasing kids or working, writing stories was never far from her mind.

Nyrae gravitates toward character-driven stories. Whether reading or writing, she loves emotional journeys. It’s icing on the cake when she really
feels
something, but is able to laugh too. She’s also a proud romantic at heart who has a soft spot for flawed characters. She loves people who aren’t perfect, who make mistakes but also have big hearts.

Nyrae resides in sunny Southern California with her husband (who still makes her swoon) and her two awesome kids. When she’s not with her family, you can be pretty sure you’ll find her with a book in her hand or her laptop and an open document in front of her.

She writes for Entangled Publishing, Grand Central Publishing and is self-published.
