Dear Friends,
Â
When my editor told me that Berkley was planning to issue my previously published novellas in a single volume, I was thrilled by the news. While I was excited by the thought of seeing some of my favorite characters together in a single book, what I found most appealing about the idea was the opportunity to include a personal note as a preface.
Writing is a great joy in my life, made all the more so by the readers I've come in contact with as a result of it. A hearty
thank you
goes to everyone who has been so supportive of my work and let me know it either by letters, E-mail, or just continuing to shell out hard-earned money for my stories! You've made it possible for me to do something I love. I hope that in some small way I've been able to adequately return your investment.
