Demon's Daughter: A Cursed Book (37 page)

The
Cursed
story has been with me for years. At first it was just an idea that I thought would be fun. Then it became an obsession. I worked on it every second I had available to me, losing myself in mythology and research, developing characters that I think are memorable, and action scenes that had even me on the edge of my seat. Now that the first novel has finally reached completion, I feel like a mother watching her baby take its first steps. Nervous, but undeniably proud that it’s come this far.

This accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without the love and encouragement I’ve gotten from my friends and family. There’s nothing quite as wonderful as seeing the smiles on their faces when you tell them what you’ve achieved.

Huge thank you to Deranged Doctor Designs for the absolutely beautiful cover. You knocked it out of the park.

Big thanks to my editor Eden Royce for working with me and pointing out important details that were embarrassing to miss. Advice to new authors:
Always
hire an editor. You never know when you’re going to accidently name a location after a salad dressing brand.

Tons of thanks to the lovely ladies of the Writing GIAM community, as well as the alpha and beta readers who helped me nitpick
Demon’s Daughter
.

Last but not least, thank you reader for giving my story a chance. Considering this series is my figurative child, I can’t tell you how much it means to know that someone, somewhere, picked it up and enjoyed it. Thank you for giving this story– and this indie author– a chance. I hope to be thanking you again soon.
