Thank You
The list of people to thank seems endless and growing each year I publish. First, I want to thank anyone who has READ any of my work. I can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am that you’ve loved my characters, wanted to visit Elk Rapids, and enjoyed my stories. It’s a dream come true to publish, so thank you for being on the journey with me.
I want to thank Karen Fischer for tirelessly reading the final version of my work. We may not catch every mistake, but she (not me) comes darn close.
I need to thank Sylvia Schneider for her tirelessly promoting my work. I owe you the moon and more. For now, it has to be my eternal gratitude for your friendship and support.
A huge thank to a reader who was there from the start – and has developed into a formatter and cover designer with amazing talent. Shannon Passmore, I will be forever grateful you entered my life and took a chance on a new author in 2014. Thank you for your honesty with my writing and your talent with my covers.
More thanks to Sassy Savvy Fabulous (currently Foreward PR) and Linda Russell for tough love when I wavered on a fence and professionalism in getting the job done right for promotions.
The list of bloggers is ever changing and endless. Some have been there since the first page. Some have joined me with these recent pages. Either way, reading and reviewing a book is a privilege awarded to any author. Promoting that work through word-of-mouth, posting on social media, sharing on your website, and leaving reviews on sales channels is the greatest honor any book and author can receive. Thank you for supporting authors such as myself and others in the book community.
And thank you to my family: Mr. Dunbar, MD, MK, JR and A. I know I’ve missed events for takeovers, burned dinner with on social media, and spent hours writing while ignoring you, but my heart is always full with love for each of you and my mind never forgetful of your acceptance of my dream.

About the Author
Avid drinker of Coca-Cola, L.B. Dunbar loves the sweet things in life. Her affair with all things fairy tale began with her first book at the tender age of six: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One can never forget her first! From there, the reading journey includes a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused, yes, that’s the correct word, of having an over active imagination; to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she’s created sweet, small town worlds; rock star mayhem; MMA chaos; and sexy rom-com for the over 40. Her other duties in life include: mother to four children and wife to the one and only.
