. Your support made me believe in myself. I will always remember what you have done for me. I love you all. I truly do. I hope I didn’t disappoint you.

To my family
, still reeling from the lack of attention resulting from the release of
The Light in the Wound
. I can’t believe I threw you into the ring again. I am so sorry for this ridiculously crazy year and I thank you for being in my life.
And to my other family – Tarryn, Lori & Tosha
. Just knowing that you’re still here with me means so much.
You can always count on heartbreak to provide you with great inspiration for a new book. Thank you to the one who made me cry. Who would have known that in this so called school of Life, someone like you would end up being my teacher? Watch out for my next book…
