Author's note. (Patreon)

I have sometimes screwed these things up... left people out. Hell, at one point I put the wrong artist name in for the cover because I am, by nature, a little scattered.  So I am putting this here so y'all can check me.  And I hope you know I mean every word.

I have been incredibly blessed by supportive readers throughout my career. From Susan who wrote the first feedback I ever got back when I started in fanfic to Sarah and Hunter who have unflaggingly supported my publishing and moving into self-publishing, I have a community of support. I wouldn’t be able to write without them. Mandy cheers me on no matter how much I lose the path, and she’s awesome at pointing out my many grammar mistakes. Shin builds up my ego when my insecurities take over (and nags to me try new things, like audio). They are the rock I stand on (or rocks, maybe). Alexis, Maryam, Emma, Jeanette, Sarah and Beth support every rough draft and false start. Jean, Aurelie, Mandy, and Nanette rolled up their sleeves and helped edit the final drafts, and Sue—editor extraordinaire—did the final polish. And that’s not even counting the people who commented on the rough chapter by chapter: Ingeborg, Jennifer, Nanette, Mandy, Sarah, Blue, Avalie, Corinna and so many more. Without these folks, Lyn Gala wouldn’t have survived the vagaries of publishing. She would have become a wistful dream in the back of an old history teacher’s mind—a wish for what might have been. But you and all the readers who leave reviews and buy books and check them out from libraries are the magic that has breathed life into my dream. Thank you.
