I would like to give thanks to the many people who have helped me to get this far; my loving husband, Rob, whose tireless support, dedication, and patience have gone above and beyond what I could have asked for. You remain my muse, my very patient muse, and I can never truly express my gratitude. My wonderful son, Kaine, who keeps me young and is always a source of inspiration and happiness. My father, Steve, for his encouragement and taking the time to help with the final edit. And of course, the rest of my family; my mother, Gladys, my brother, Pete, my Nan, Alma, and my mother-in-law, Sandra, for their continued belief and support. Family aside, I have had some wonderful support from many fellow authors, the most notable being Stephen Drake, author of the Displaced Series, and Sallyann
