Call of Sunteri (Keepers of the Wellsprings Book 2) (43 page)

When I began writing this series, I wanted to create a story that could be enjoyed by both the young and the young at heart. I’m so grateful to God for the inspiration that came to me while I was writing. I’m thankful to my friends and family, who are always so supportive of me.

Call of Sunteri is dedicated to my mom, Bonnie Hatch, who is a constant source of support, inspiration, and encouragement for me. Thanks, Mom, for being my biggest fan and for keeping me writing by asking for more story every day.

To my husband, James, thank you for letting me escape into Azi’s world as often as I want to, and for always being understanding and supportive when I get lost there.

To my son Wesley, you are an inspiration to me, and I love you so much!

To my bestie Emily, thank you for your general awesomeness and moral support.

I’m also very grateful to the following readers who were kind enough to take the time to read Call of Sunteri before it was published, especially Debra White, Jennifer Hicks, and Stacy Marans. Also J.A., J.M., and M.F., your enthusiasm to read more is a real inspiration, thank you!

Finally, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read this book and the rest in the Keepers of the Wellsprings series. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I loved writing it!
