ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are so many people who have made this journey possible and I thank every single one of you.
Right at the top of the list is my three. You guys are absolutely the cheese on the cake. (Thank Inga for that one!) Everything I do, I do for you. (I think that’s a line from a song?) Love you.
Love and hugs to my daughter who not only designed the Iron Dogz MC logo but all my banners, teasers and covers. Babes, you seriously rock. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You know the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’? I have such a village, my family. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the years. I couldn’t have done this without you guys.
In my corner always, is my cousin Pieter, he has read everything I’ve written over the years. Thank you mon cousin.
I have the most amazing friend and beta reader in Mari Small. You not only read, critique and advise, you also encourage. I appreciate every single minute of time you spend on helping me to get it right. Thank you so very much.
To the ladies in our book club, you girls are the best! Hazel, Kathy, Jacquline, Robyn and Andrea, I love chatting about books and everything in general with you girls.
My readers and fans, you totally leave me breathless. I love how you love my characters and ask for more, and believe me I love giving you more.
There are a very special group of people who support and pimp us authors out and they are the ones who introduce our books to many who would never have known about us otherwise. We owe them so much gratitude. Fabiola Cadet-Destil, Lee Anna Dunk, Rebel Hyde, Brianna Maddox and Rosa’s Reviews to only name a few. To all of you, thank you so very much.
Lastly, to the authors who encourage and support us newbies, you have no idea how much you mean to us. Thank you.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I grew up in a small town in the Transkeian region of South Africa close to the ocean and the mountains. After completing high school I moved to the city to go to College. And I’m still here. I miss the ocean every single day.
I have my parents to thank for my love of books and music. The local library was one of my favourite places to hang out and helped to satisfy my craving to read more and more books.
Doing what the majority of people do is not for me. I like who I am. I love what I do.
I like my music loud and heavy, my coffee with a touch of milk and slightly sweet, and chocolate in all its shapes and forms.
Music is my muse. My house is never silent. Whether I’m writing or reading there is always music playing.
