Regina Wamba, no acknowledgements is complete without thanking you for your phenomenal cover design and photography skills. You’ve managed to turn my insane babbling into the perfect representation for my books. You rock!

Michael and Rachel, I have to thank you both for bringing my characters to life! I can’t imagine anyone else fitting these characters better.

Last (but certainly not least) I have to thank my family. All of you. I couldn’t ask for a better support system. I know you all probably thought I’d lost my mind when I said I didn’t want to go to college and I wanted to see if I could make my writing career work, but you never said that. You all supported me and believed in me when at times I didn’t believe in myself. It makes my heart happy to see how proud I’ve made you. I hope I keep making you proud—not just as writer, but as a person.
