Acknowledgements

Where to begin… There are so many people who I would like to thank. First and foremost, I thank God for the ideas and abilities that He has placed in me. Without Him I can do nothing. All honor and glory be to Him. Second I would like to thank my parents, who even though they don’t understand all of my crazy undertakings, still love me and encourage me. I also need to thank my kids. They believe in me and continually offer me ideas, more than I could possibly use.

Thanks to Cathy Jackson, who inspired me by allowing me to read As You Wish and Bloom. Without her, I would never have had the courage to do this. I thank God for putting her in my life. Thanks also to John Garcia who put up with all my rough drafts and re-writes questions and insecurities. Sláinte Mhaith, John. Thanks also to Michael Williams who helped me out with the cover concept. Thank you for your honesty.

I dedicate this book to all the readers who will pick it up and journey into a world that I created. May you find a place in each story and may your stay be memorable.

To finding Miss or Mr. McLeod
