The life of a writer is filled with roller coasters. For making the ride fun: the Baconistas. Seriously. I’d be dead in the water without you. For encouraging me to get back in line for another ride: my critique group. You guys are awesome listeners. For reminding me that roller coasters are at carnivals and carnivals are supposed to be magical: my blog readers. Your support is priceless. Thank you, thank you!
I love getting e-mails and Facebook messages from readers who love this series. You always make me smile—and I hope
Abandon
is the ending you were hoping for.
