4. Going back to donations, I invite you to use www.smile.amazon.com whenever you shop on Amazon.com. This is Amazon’s charitable donation site. It’s exactly like Amazon.com (with the same prices and layout), but a percentage of all your orders are donated to the charity of your choice. If you’re like me and spend a lot on Amazon.com, the donations really start to add up.
Thank you again for reading 30 Red Dresses. I hope you enjoyed the story and I invite you to get involved and make a difference in combating modern slavery.
All the best,
Johan Twiss

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book was a true labor of love and it would not be available without the help of some wonderful people. I want to thank my wife, Adrienne, for her support as my Alpha Reader and for her listening ear.
Special thanks to my proofreaders (enter names).
Thank you to my wonderful writing group in Dallas. One of my favorite times of the week is getting together for our late night critiques in the cafe at Barnes & Noble. Granted, a part of that is because they have great cheesecake. But you guys are a close second to the cheesecake.
Lastly, a huge thanks to all of the wonderful Beta Readers who took time to read and review this book. (Enter names) Your feedback helped improve the story and took it to the next level. Thank you!
