First, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do every day, which is write for you. I am forever grateful, and my hope is forever in Him!
And thank you to my amazing editors and sources for all your time and contributions. Thank you especially to Donna, Calvin, Kathy, April, Sharon, Jon and Kyle. You guys are the best supporters a girl could ask for. And yes, I know I just ended that sentence in a preposition, Mrs. Helling.
I would also like to thank, as always, those wonderful readers and those amazing bloggers who are also readers for their enthusiasm and loyal support of my first two novels. I will be forever grateful for your continued support and your wonderful fervor for fairy tales. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And I would like to thank my family, who continues to be my biggest fans and greatest supporters, and my mom, who first inspired me to read. And thank you also to my friends and mentors, who are ever inspiring me — whether they realize it or not.
And finally, I would like to thank my husband, Neville, for tiptoeing through the hallways and for all the glasses of water you brought to me and for everything you did for me while I wrote this novel. I’m truly thankful. And thank you, most of all, for just being you and for your constant encouragement from the very beginning of this whole, grand adventure. Honey, I love you — forever and a day!
