The Senthien (Descendants of Earth Book 1)
Page 25
The bright daylight of the morning shifts into a purple hue as if dusk had swept in. The sounds of the forest change, the songs of the birds fade, the wind in the high branches distorts into a moaning howl, as the portation kicks in.
I can feel it in the whole of my body. It hurts, as if every muscle’s coming back to life after being deprived of blood flow. I ignore the pain.
And I leave the most beautiful planet in the universe.

Acknowledgments
First of all, a big thank you to my family.
To my husband, thank you for your constant support, for being there to bounce off ideas, for being my in-house editor, for encouraging me to finish my book and for being my tireless fan. To my children, for their cheering and support, and for simply being in my life and making me happy. To my parents, for their unconditional love and continuing life-long encouragement.
To my developmental and copy-editor, Sarah Kolb-Williams, thank you so much! Your constructive comments, your attention to detail and your contagious optimism are exactly what I was looking for. It was a real pleasure working with you and I am looking forward to our next project together.
To my final proof-reader, Barbara Tenner, who also read the very first draft of “The Senthien”, thank you so much for your early comments which helped me to bring the book forward and for making sure the final version was ready to face the world.
Huge thanks to my beta-readers: Karin Brown, Vanda Pogacic, Mara Jacob and Tammy Hollister, for your tips, insightful and valuable comments, and your support for me to continue.
For many techy discussions over pizza and wine, my big thanks to Karin Brown, Stephen McEwen and Tom Brown. KCFC, microgenerators and E-bands are all products of those late night discussions.
Rico Leuthold and Thorsten Kramp, I very much appreciate your IT inputs.
Big thanks to Prasanta Kumar for designing the book cover. It looks exactly as I imagined it. Thank you!
And last, but not least, to my readers: I am immensely grateful that you decided to read “The Senthien”, therefore, bringing Dora and J to life.
