I'm sure there'll never be enough room on an acknowledgement page to thank everyone who is so important to me. So this page is for the people who make my life brighter.

Dad (God bless a hero) and Mom, thank you for giving me your never-ending support and unconditional love. Thanks for being my friends as well as my parents.

Julio, thank you for all the encouragement and support you've given me.

Boys and girls, thank you all for stepping in and caring for one another when I'm caught up in a scene. Thank you all, for being the treasures in my life.

Paula, thank you. I owe you doubly for your kindness. Not only are you the very best of website designers, but all around best girl Friday! I'll be forever grateful!

Maureen, and Tiffany, you're both more than the best co-authors! You're the absolutely best critique partners! I appreciate you both for your time, creativity, and strengths. I'm grateful for the brainstorming, links, and all the "send it on" replies when I've asked "do you mind?" I'm thankful for your critiques that tell me if the work has merit, if it's falling on its face, and if it's dull or interesting. I appreciate the extra eyes looking over my work. Above all, I thank you all for looking at my work as objectively as possible, to read and evaluate. I am extremely lucky to have each and every one of you.

Ann Peach, your knowledge and your generosity in sharing it with others will continue to inspire me. I owe you, Fair Lady. God bless.

To the best group of cheerleaders in the world: Deb, Debbie, Carol, Christine, (Cindy, God bless), Helly, Lo, and Sara. Thank you for your encouragement, faith, and support.

To four of the most generous authors of any genre: Judie Aitken, Lori Foster, Sarah McCarty and Emma Wildes. Thank you all for always responding when I send out an S.O.S whether it be simple or under duress. Your generosity inspires me.

Sherrilyn Kenyon, thank you for letting me play in your world. I'll never be able to express how much it's enriched my life.

Thank you IRWA, you all rock! And a special thank you to Lin, an IRWA sister who befriended me when I so very much needed it. And to another chapter sister Dani Weber: thank you - your time and insight has been invaluable.

Thank you to Angie, Carol, Dana, and Debbie for never hating me for missing and forgetting to return calls, for replying to emails late, or not being able to hang out like we use too. Thank you for putting up with my absence so I could do what I love. Thank you for supporting my writing addiction.

I never could have done this without all of your love and support. Thank you guys for being my friends.

I love you all.
