  To Randi Jo Flynn and Sarah Zettler, thank you for prioritizing your schedules so we could meet every other week. I love and cherish our meeting times. Thank you for all your words of wisdom, critiques, laughs, and for pushing me toward my dreams.

  Jen Crane, I’m grateful for your beta-reads, your insights, your advice, and for being my friend.

  My writing wouldn’t be at the level it is without Margie Lawson. Margie, your teaching elevated my words and gave me the tools to push myself harder and harder.

  Thank you to all those who have helped guide my words: Jenna Grinstead, Suzanne M. Sabol, Eva Siedler, Sandy Williams. I treasure your insight.

  Dad, Jo, Chuck, Judy, Donna, Ernie, and Brenden: thank you for everything. For being my personal cheerleaders, and believing in me. I appreciate all the time you spent reading my words and giving your feedback. And I can’t pay you back for all the help you provided so I could write or research or attend a workshop or conference.

  Alex and Zack: You two are the shining stars in my life. You have both grown into young men I am proud to call my sons. Thank you for putting up with my moods and pizza for dinner when I was working hard. I love you!

  And to Chuck: my soulmate, my best friend, my other half, my idea man, my echo editor, my unpaid assistant, I love you so much. Thank you for supporting my dreams and me.

  About the Author

  Kathleen wrote her first story in elementary school about a pegasus named Sir Lancelot. It had no plot or conflict, but it sparked a dream. After serving a fifteen-year sentence in retail management, the bulk in big box bookstores, she turned her love of reading into a full-time career writing dark and haunting characters and stories.

  She lives by the mantra that a day is not complete without tea. Lots of tea. Kathleen lives in Ohio with her husband, two boys, and two attention-demanding dogs. When not writing or editing or revising, you can find her reading, cooking, spending time with her family, or photographing abandoned buildings.
