The Other Life (26 page)
15,323 hours since Sherry listened to one of her dad’s bedtime stories. 30,657 minutes since she heard his laughter.
Sherry’s dad’s life is hanging in the balance... And if he turns into a Weeper, Sherry and Joshua know that the only way to save him lies on the other side of the
fence – the barrier cutting them off from the rest of the world.
With Tyler and Rachel, they set off into the unknown, driven by the promise of a cure, and the hope of reclaiming the life they once knew. But they find that there are more than
just Weepers standing in their way...
There is no going back. There is only beyond.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are so many people who helped me on my road to publication and I’d like to thank them.
Julia Churchill and Greenhouse Literary for the work they put into my book. I’ll always be grateful for what you did.
The team at Usborne for their enthusiasm and hard work.
My first readers whom I found on the Absolute Write forums: Catherine Miller and Dawn Miller.
My friend Elke Garnkäufer, the first person I dared to show my work to, apart from my husband. Thanks for your help, friendship and encouragement.
Debra Driza, whose beta comments made my book so much better.
Véronique Pettingill and Rebecca Rogers, who helped me with my query letter and synopsis.
Shveta Thakrar, for her lovely emails.
Jill Hathaway, for going through the sub craziness together.
The Apocalypsies, for their incredible support.
Kathy Bradey, for being a friend, for listening to my whiny emails, for being a cheerleader and a wonderful crit partner.
My amazing crit group, Tracy Banghart and Shari Arnold, for always being there, for listening, for being friends, for your great beta comments, your encouragement and support, and for letting me
read your beautiful books.
But most of all my husband, who’s always been there for me, who gives me strength and believes in me, who wanted to see me happy even if it meant giving up my day job. I couldn’t
have done this without you.
