  Dear Reader,

  Thank you for taking the time to read THE COLOR OF FOREVER. I hope you enjoyed Katelyn’s story and will look for the next book in the series: Jack’s story, THE COLOR OF A PROMISE.

  If this is your first time reading a book in my Color of Heaven Series, I encourage you to start at the beginning with the first novel, THE COLOR OF HEAVEN, which is currently free as an ebook. There are many books available in the series, and they all address the theme of real-life magic and everyday miracles, big and small. Read on for a complete list and descriptions of the other books.

  In case you are wondering, each novel stands alone, so you can enjoy any of the books without reading the previous title. But if you choose to read them in order, you will probably enjoy how each book leads into the next and how certain characters, like Jack in this novel, reappear later to have their stories told.

  If you enjoyed the historical section of this book, you might also enjoy my historical romances, most of which take place in the late-Victorian period. But I warn you—unlike my Color of Heaven Series, my historical romances have explicit love scenes, so if that is not your cup of tea…

  Before we part ways, I’ll invite you to visit my website at www.juliannemaclean.com to learn more about my books and writing life, and while you’re there please sign up for my email newsletter so I can keep you informed about when a new Color of Heaven novel is released. You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

  As always, happy reading!

  Julianne
