Acknowledgments

You do not get to write one book, let alone three, without support, advice and a tremendous heap of help. Many people have been behind me every single step of the way, while I have been very fortunate to receive advice from some of the best. If I had to thank everyone who had a positive impact on me and the first two books I wrote, I would fill this page and many more.

The condensed list of people having the greatest impact is as follows:

A heartfelt, knees-on the-ground thank you to Evan, my publisher, for his remarkable input on my writing. Whenever I doubted myself, he would come to the rescue with e-mails that would encourage me to prolong with writing.

David Robbins, thank you for making me a better author and a better writer. Without your editing hand, my work would not resonate so well on every page.

My gratitude toward the Publication Consultants team is never-ending. I owe a great amount of appreciation for the many hours spent on designing my book's covers and the layout.

Thank you to all the booksellers who tend to promote my books so well.

Last but not least, a big thank you to all my readers who attend my book signings and who purchase my books. I exceedingly appreciate your support toward authors. You make it possible for me to carve out a career in being a novelist.
