Transcending Nirvana (Dark Evoke #3) (31 page)

Wow, where do I even begin? I usually end up forgetting people so if I accidently forget someone, please forgive me.

Firstly, to my readers. They say that a writer merely begins the story; the reader is the one to finish it. Without you, these stories would be left incomplete. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I thank you for journeying alongside the characters, experiencing the emotions which come hand-in-hand with that journey, and taking the time to get engrossed in a world in which I have created.

Two of my besties: Samantha Ulysses and Charlie Chisholm…without you two hounding me for more #WalkerLove, or as Samantha would call them, Wady, I wouldn’t have found the strength in writing this installment, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. The love I have for you both is out of this world. You were my first angels, my first readers, my first fans, and I thank you for that.

My kick ass editor, Brittani Pritchard who absolutely loves how much I adore my commas.

. You work your butt off with family life, work, pimping and editing…you’re a machine woman, and I love you more than you love my comma addiction.

My ARC readers: Angie, Rhiannon, Linda, Jade, Titian, Laura, Heather, Maria Bianca, Megan, Lauren, Michelle, Keren and Donna, Thank you so, so much for taking the time to read and review.

Kaprii Dolphin and Lorraine Lilly Wickson who make up the fabulous Two Ordinary Girls and Their Books, I have two simple words:
you’re amazing!
Your continued support and enthusiasm towards The Dark Evoke Series will always warm my heart. Thank you for hosting Transcending Nirvana’s Cover Reveal alongside the Release Day Blitz. And not forgetting the many other blogs which participated in the event also.

To my Munchkin. I love you goo-goo pecks, and remember its ‘

Finally, two of the positive attributes I possess is my self-awareness and the ability to be an open book. My private life as many know had taken a nosedive, and I found writing this final installment the most challenging to date. What people didn’t know up until recently was, as I was writing Kady’s story, I was writing from personal experience. People know that this is a topic close to my heart––it’s close to my heart because I’ve lived it. And I would like to personally thank a woman who was only supposed to take me on as a client for 24 weeks, yet kept me on for almost two years. Gillian Legge, my amazing counselor who helped me see the truth of my relationship from the outside, and helped me accept it, and fight to be the survivor I am today.

Also, thank you to Women’s Aid who offers help and support to thousands of women to break free. I owe you…
