ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
One day in October of 2008, I finished another paranormal fiction series and missed my heroes desperately, so I decided to create my own. Without the help and encouragement of the following people, I never would have succeeded in bringing them to life. My gratitude goes to the following:
To the readers of my first draft, including, Debbie Sabo, Kim Sabo, Rita Sabo, Tony & Mary Powell, Brigid & Jeanette Ogden, Christie & Erin Jenkins, Greg Arndt, Julie Lacey, Brian Nutwell, Michelle McGovern, Anne Marie Neal, Bren Handyside, Karen England, Cindy Musto, Janet Ogden & Kathy Fister. Your feedback and excitement were priceless.
To my sister, Donna, who was too scared to read my manuscript about demons, but always asked how it was going.
To Amie Horan, who not only read the first draft, but copyedited it. Her results were painful to behold, although not as painful as reading it must have been. Thanks for the crash course in grammar and punctuation.
To my talented and intuitive editor, Erin MacLellan. She rocked the book with her honesty and enthusiasm for the story.
To my book’s interior format specialist, fellow author T.C. McMullen. You are a tiny mountain woman of epic strength, stamina, and artistic ability. And to the whole McMullen family, thank you for adopting me during the last four SciFi in the Valley Cons in Pennsylvania. Your hospitality will never be forgotten.
To CoverKitchen for creating the gorgeous new cover design for this third edition.
To Joseph Tupa and Lil for their enthusiasm for the story and the beautiful new lyrics for this edition.
To Officer James Carbone for sharing his experience and knowledge of juvenile drug enforcement law with me.
To Cam, who gave me the best input on weaponry and what would be cool to have in the story.
To my friends who helped me restore and keep my sanity. You know who you are. I owe you more than my gratitude.
To my family, Chris, Brigid, Jeanette, and Cam. Thank you for loving me even when the laundry wasn’t done, there was no food in the fridge, and the pile of papers on the kitchen counter metastasized, all because I was “writing a novel.” I love you, too. Always.
Finally, to my Higher Power. Thanks for loving me, too.
