Elementally Priceless (13 page)

I’d lost the kid, lost Caleb, and lost most of my hard earned money on a salvage that was a complete and total bust. Then there was that niggling urge to find someone else. Someone important.

A soft voice whispered up and around me, a breath on the wind.

Find me, Rylee.

If only I could. If only I knew who I was supposed to find.

Lark

The darkness was complete, the oubliette a total black out. The walls were made of plastic of all things, and it stuck to my bare skin as the sweat poured off me. Barely big enough for me to lie in a fetal position, the oubliette had been made especially for me. By the one person who knew my fears better than any other. The only solace I had was the fact I’d done the right thing. I knew I had. Even if it cost me my freedom and my ability to touch the deep powers in me.

The Writer was safe, the Tracker was on her way to becoming the person who would stand against the evil that was coming.

“Find me, Rylee,” I whispered into the dark, hoping Earth would take that final plea to her. “Find me.”

 
Acknowledgments

THANK YOU TO
 those who help me keep on creating new characters and worlds, even though my own world has been turned upside down. My editors (Tina and Jinxie), formatter (Benjamin), early readers/proofreaders (Lysa, Creig, Jean), and cover artist (Damon) help me to produce the best work I can.

Thanks also have to go to my family for their amazing support while I make the transition from full time author to full time author/full time mom. I seriously could not be doing this without the back up of grandmas, aunties, friends and of course, hubby. I love you all and am so grateful you are helping me to keep on chasing my dreams.
