Bound by Roses (The Bound Series Book 1)

by Jonathan Lazar

  Acknowledgments

  Several special shout outs are needed and/or required of me, or so I have been told.

  To my amazing Husband, Sean — To whom without I’d probably not have anything done, ever. Not just this tale, but also every tale, and probably a lot less pressure for him to actually indulge me and read my work. As well, who kept me sane while not only writing this, but also house hunting, and moving into said house.

  To my loving Family — Who have always supported me regardless of the path I have chosen. I know this is not the art degree I thought of, or the teaching degree I originally went for, but I am happy doing this — and — as promised, this is more up your alley!

  To my Mother-in-Law, Barb — Who reminded me that there was no acknowledgements or dedications page in my first book, Love is Complicated. I am sure you loved this book more than the last. Though to be fair, she is still waiting for the first manuscript I ever let her read to get published. Bastian is coming, I promise!

  To my Teavana Partners — Who watched with high anticipation me revise all the various drafts in the back room, only to be told it would be split first into a trilogy, then a quadrilogy (and with a possible fifth). Thank you for allowing me to ignore you completely while I was on break or in early or waiting for a ride. Luckily the store has yet to burn to the ground (Knock on wood!)

  Of course to my excited Readers and Fans — Who I would not be here without. Many who have told me personally they were excited for Bound by Tales months ago when it was only in its second draft (and still only one book).
