Blood Moon (Entangled Select Otherworld) (23 page)

Acknowledgments

This was a tough book for me to write. My Mom fought cancer twice while I was growing up, and the shadow of that horrible disease, and the fear that I might lose her, tormented me. During that battle, she set goals to make it to a horseshow, to eat crab for her birthday, and see me graduate from high school. Any further into the future was uncertain. But through it all, she taught me to treasure your days and laugh more than you cry. In the end, she won that war.

Then while I was writing this book, we lost a young person in our extended family unexpectedly. The pain and shock reminded all of us that life is precious, and it’s so important to enjoy each day, appreciate the small moments, and cherish those you love.

There are many people I need to thank for helping me make this book a reality. First off, thanks to my Dad and his love of Harley Davidson motorcycles. We made my grandparents cringe more than once when he let me ride on the back of his chopper with him when I was in elementary school.

I also need to thank Dr. D.P. Lyle for helping me with all the medical scenes in this book. He patiently answered my questions about medications and cardiac issues. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, but any mistakes are my own.

Big thanks to Liz Pelletier for jumping in to edit this book. You rock! Thanks to my amazing agent, Laurie McLean for all your support for the wolf pack, and to Katie Clapsadl and the entire Entangled team for your help promoting the series.

I also need to thank my fabulous beta readers: Denise Fluhr, Heather Cox, and Panda Wilson. Your love and passion for this book kept me writing even when the road got rough. And thanks so much to my Night Angel Legion street team for all their support in spreading the word about the Moon Series. You guys are the best!

And finally thank you to my kids, Panda and Reno, and my amazing husband, Ken, who support me and believe in me, and even give me hugs when I cry over fictional characters. You mean the world to me. I love you!
