My warmest thanks go out to my friends Adam Magee and his partner, Chad Michaels, for their encouragement and countless tweets, even before The Culling was ever released. ChAdam, Shantay, you STAY!

I also appreciate Frank Garcia and his partner Pedro Aguas including me in a full-page color spread in What’s Happening Magazine. Thanks guys! Next time, maybe I can have a centerfold?

Dawn Sorokin-Tschupp, you did a great job making my mug look presentable for my author photo. You must use a wand instead of a camera to work that kind of magic!

Thanks to Luis Contreras for featuring me in my very first YouTube videos, and helping to promote The Culling and the Torch Keeper series to the vast world of social media.

Extra shiny props to Keri Mcdaniel, whose selfless efforts are responsible for beaucoup sales of The Culling. Girl, I can’t tell you how much all you’ve done means to me and I hope to have you head up my marketing team some day!

And, as always, to my wonderful partner, Jeffrey Cadorette, who helps keep me grounded when things seem overwhelming. It’s always amazing what a little TLC can do.
