Bad Blood (Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter, Vol. 3)

by Nikki Jefford

  Cheers to copy editor, Kara Malinczak, for finding countless bloopers — she caught some really humorous ones this round. And a very warm thank you for emailing me immediately after finishing edits to ask if Tommy was going to be okay. There’s a special place in my heart for anyone who cares about animals.

  Thanks to Rachel Joyce at Bright Side Editorial for doing the final cleanup on Bad Blood. I still can’t believe we studied Journalism and Public Communications at the University of Alaska Anchorage at the same time AND both worked at the Anchorage Daily News. Small world!

  High fives and high kicks to my street team members: Nikki’s Ninjas. Not only do these women get the word out, but they lift me up every single day with their support and enthusiasm for the series. I’m always hesitant to list names for fear of forgetting someone, but I’d like to mention the black belts who have been especially active these past months, as of this writing: Ali, Amber, Angie, Boyce, Danielle, Donna, Janice, Janina, Katrina, Kim, Laura, Liliana, Mandy, and Michelle. Love you all to death!

  Kisses to my Frenchman, Seb, for supporting my dreams, formatting my books, checking my French, keeping me organized, and being my real life hero every single day of the week.

  All my love to my mom, the first person to put a book in my hands and a pen between my fingers.

  And a third thank you, not quite six, but halfway, to Ali Hymer (friend, fan, beta reader, street team manager, and all-out queen) for the wicked fun character graphics she’s made for Aurora, Valerie, Noel, Fane, and Dante with each release.

  Finally, Thank YOU! You there, reading this book. Without your support, I wouldn’t be able to release new titles. Thank you for allowing Aurora’s journey to continue.

  Final Words

  Don’t wait for Prince Charming to save the day.

  Be the hero of your own story.

  Life lessons according to Nikki Jefford.
