Eric, I dedicated this book to you because without you Soothsayer would definitely still be sitting on the shelf. Your passion and drive to make your own dreams come true, pushed me to go after mine. I couldn’t ask for a better partner in crime and I am tremendously grateful for your never ending patience, love and support. Living with a writing can’t always be easy, but I know I can always count on you to help me through whatever new adventure lies ahead of us. Love you to pieces and thank you so much for helping me make my dreams come true!
Ashley, I know fantasy isn’t really your thing, so it was amazing to hear how much you loved Soothsayer. I am so lucky to have a friend like you, who supports me. No matter how much time passes or where we’re living in the world, I’ll always be thankful to have you in my life.
Ginger and Craig, you’ve both been so amazing to me and encouraging of my dream to become a published author. I am so grateful to have you both in my life. G-snap, I can’t thank you enough for not only being one of my beta readers, but also my proofreader.
I have to give a big THANK YOU to my editor David Hammons. I truly feel like I struck gold. You helped me make Soothsayer into the beautiful novel it is today. Your edits were always thoughtful and more than a few times, your notes and changes had me laughing. I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.
Now I know we’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but how can you not when my cover is so beautiful! Thank you Alessio for designing a stunning cover. You brought everything I wanted to life, with little direction and you were a pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to get the rest of the series covers done by you!
The list goes on and on, but I need to make sure all my beta readers know how truly grateful I am that they took time out of their lives to read my novel and give me their notes. From the bottom of my heart thank you!
And last but certainly not least, thank you Christina Hoppe. I count my lucky stars that I had you as my 12th grade English teacher. Your passion for the written word helped set me on this path. I’ll never forget how encouraging you were to me as a student and I thank you so much for teaching me the beauty of writing.
