To Tim, who gives me hope, and home.
To my family, who journeyed through the same tragic events as me back when I was a child, events that sparked the concept behind the Dollhouse series.
To my four sons—who've had Jessamine-like patience in watching me tap away at the computer so much.
To all my friends who've given me encouraging words during the difficult road to completing my first four novels, especially Susan Wise.
To my beta readers and new friends Brenda Telford, Liz James, Amber Parry, Linda Gonzales and Katie Boettcher for all their hard work and patience in being the very first readers of Music Box and the people who helped smooth out the cracks and bumps. As beta readers, Brenda has been there since Book Two, Brenda, Liz, Katie and Amber have been there since Book Three, Linda has given her great input in Book Four—and all have helped shape much better books.

Where to now?
There are two concepts I’m considering—one a Gothic thriller/romance and the other a Young Adult dystopian/sci fi. I’m in love with both these concepts and am undecided which way to go!
On and off over the past three months, I’ve been re-editing Book One of the Dollhouse series (Dollhouse). I’m excited to soon to be re-releasing it with a very cool new publisher—the company owned by two very well-known and respected authors in Young Adult literature.
Also, I’ll be writing a prequel to the Dollhouse books at some point, as I really want to tell that side of the story.
Warm wishes,
