Criminal

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am immensely grateful for the unwavering support and encouragement from my devoted w*****d readers. Your patience, understanding, and feedback have meant the world to me, and I sincerely hope that my story has resonated with you just as it has with me. Taking to heart the advice of a fellow author to write a book that I myself would want to read and to view it with the eyes of a reader rather than an author, I strive to have achieved that with "Criminal."

I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to two very special individuals in my life who have been instrumental in this writing journey.

To my beautiful son, thank you for being my rock, my sounding board, and my biggest supporter. Your willingness to listen, provide feedback, and endure my endless stream of ideas is truly appreciat
