Here There Be Tigers (43 page)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book has been a long time in coming. It
was actually the first novel I wrote in the Tiger Shifters world. I
was encouraged to expand on the tigers’ story by my lovely friend
Louise Fury after she read the initial short story
Mate Run
.
I owe Louise a huge thanks for her encouragement. Without it, I
might not have explored the tigers’ world more.

I would also like to give a great deal of
thanks to the people who helped me bring this book to publication,
who continue to encourage my writing and publishing exploits, and
who provide excellent shoulders to lean on when things get crazy.
There are too many to name. I thank you all! But I would like to
add a few specific thanks: Kemberlee Lugo, Peter Shortland, MK
Tipton, Stacey Agdern, Leanna Renee Hieber, Mala Bhattacharjee,
Elizabeth K. Mahone, Lise Horton, Hope Tarr, Stacey Klemstein, and
Linnea Sinclair. A huge thank you to you all, my dear
friends.

Thank you to all the readers who’ve embraced
the Tiger Shifter world. Your continued support is priceless, and I
am truly grateful to you.

Finally, I would like to thank my beloved
family. I couldn’t do this without the love and support of my
husband and two beautiful boys. Thank you for everything, my loves!
I also need to thank my parents and sister. They were the first to
get behind me on this writing thing, and after all these years,
they’re still right there supporting me. Thanks!
