Werewolf Upstairs (37 page)

Major thanks to my funny attorney and friend, Richard Leonard, J.D. He’s always there to answer my legal questions, but I had so many situations this time, he met me for dinner, and I filled four pages in my notebook.

Thanks again to Emily Bryan, aka Mia Marlowe, the awesome critique partner who’s as different from me as two people can be, but gives me a new take on things I wouldn’t have come up with on my own.
Viva la difference!

Thanks also to Arwen Lynch, who helped me with Konrad’s tarot reading. I didn’t have a firm grasp on his character until she did her “magic.” It worked so well, I may ask her to read other characters for me in the future.

To Natanya Wheeler, my extraordinary agent, for her gracious patience. Thank you for putting up with ice storms knocking out my power, explaining the fine points of fifteen-page contracts, and keeping me from imploding over minor mishaps and making a mess all over my carpet. I just had it installed and used my advance to pay for it.
Oh,
and thanks for negotiating that, too! You’re a godsend.

Instead of dedicating this book to my husband (again) I decided to acknowledge his invaluable contribution. He not only pays the bills but also listens to the weird problems of a writer and gives me his emotional support as well. I love you so much, honey. Someday when I’m rich and famous, you can retire and be my boy toy.

Ashlyn Chase
describes herself as an Almond Joy bar, a little nutty, a little flaky, but basically sweet, wanting only to give her readers a scrumptious, satisfying, reading experience.

She holds a degree in behavioral sciences, worked as a psychiatric RN for several years, and spent a few more years working for the American Red Cross, where she still volunteers as an instructor. She credits her sense of humor to her former careers, since comedy helped preserve whatever was left of her sanity. She is a multi-published, award-winning author of humorous erotic romances.

Represented by the Nancy Yost agency in New York, NY, she lives in beautiful New Hampshire with her true-life hero husband and a spoiled brat cat.
