Eileen, my big sister, thanks for teaching me to read and giving me a love of the written word. Thanks, Mom – for everything! Simoné, the Ginger Ninja, thank you for letting me bounce story ideas and titles off you at the most inconvenient times. Thank you for taking the time while on your holiday to read and rip my stories to pieces. You have no idea how much it means to me. Marlene, my sister from another mister. You are my rock and head cheerleader. Your constant support keeps me going when all I want to do is give up. Thank you!
