Fate Interrupted: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Moonstone Cove Book 3)
Page 24
Jena’s voice dropped so Missy couldn’t overhear her. “It’s probably just Matt pushing another plan to create jobs since the airfield shut down.”
Dev said, “It would be nice if one of them worked.”
The military air base that had provided half the town with jobs had shut down in the latest round of federal budget cuts, and more and more families had to move away. Moving away meant hiding. Though Jena and the rest of the town could shift at will, some of the myths were true. Come the full moon, the urge to change was almost overwhelming. Except for the oldest and strongest of them, full moons meant feathers, fur, or scales. That meant that families who moved were forced to keep secrets. And as someone who had lived “away,” Jena knew just how hard that was.
“It’ll all work out,” Alma reassured them. “It always does.”
Dev paid his bill, still glancing at Old Joe Quinn’s hat hanging on the wall behind her, and whistled as he made his way out the door. The continuous hum of conversation flowed around her as Jena went about her tasks for the day. Old men argued. Mothers fed boisterous children. Silverware clattered, the kitchen bell rang, and Jena Crowe saw it all.

Acknowledgments
You got to read Megan’s story!!! I really hope you loved it. I love these ladies so much, it was like visiting old friends to be back with them.
And speaking of old friends, I’m writing the next Ben and Tenzin book right now, so I hope you keep an eye out for The Bone Scroll in Fall of this year.
To my readers, thank you so much for your love, support, and enthusiasm. I don’t always get to respond to your emails and messages, but trust me, I do read them, and I appreciate them so much. (Except for you, Maegan. You know why.) It has been such a pleasure writing Megan, Katherine, and Toni’s stories. It honestly feels like a privilege every time I hang out with any of my Paranormal Women’s Fiction gang. They are the women I want to hang with and the kind of friends I aspire to be.
To Gen, Kelli, Chevella, Bobbie, and Wendy, MY GIRLS. I want to thank you for your friendship, laughter, advice (dubious as some of it may be), and support. The past year has been challenging on so many levels, and our socially distanced Wine Wednesdays were a lifeline to me.
To my publishing team, Amy Cissell, Anne Victory, Linda, everyone at Damonza, and all the hardworking publicists at Social Butterfly PR, I want to say thank you. I truly appreciate all that you do to make my business run smoothly.
To my family.
Husband of mine, you are the best husband in the world, and I am completely unbiased. I have done studies, and it is the truth. My love for you is bigger than the skies in Omo.
Kid of mine, you are the best kid in the world, and I am completely unbiased; it’s just science. I love you more than Star Wars. Please don’t grow up too fast.
And to the rest of you crazy mob, you are completely who I modeled the Dusis after. So now you know what I think of you all. Obviously, you’re the best.
