Oath Bound (Book 3) (26 page)

I of course must thank my
husband Chris for supporting my endeavors as a writer. I could not do it
without him.

My beta-readers, Jen
Ponce (to whom this book is dedicated), Matt Snyder (who had the last one), and
Keith Manuel.

The Editor himself, John
Hart, for once again being patient and loving with the prose and with me.

And the cover artist,
Joel Lagerwall, for producing something lovely to go on the front.

I also want to thank all
of Dingus’s friends for helping me see him this far. In no particular order:
Sue Sherman, Michelle John, Rachel Bostwick, Sam Johnson, Fiona Skye, Melissa
Drake, Kandi Wolfmeyer, Nikki Yager, Christy King, Michael Levy, Rose Campbell,
Tammy Mays, JD Franx, Deb and Rick Rossing, and a thousand more I’m sure I’m
missing (sorry!), plus the ones I don’t know.

part, she prefers cyberspace to meatspace. She has two kids and a husband who
keep her grounded.
