Steele Trap (Heart of Steele) (9 page)

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my mentor for encouraging me to write
fiction. Before he introduced me to an online forum where so much that was
shared helped me in ways too numerous to mention, I never knew I had any
stories to tell. With his encouragement, they have been pouring out of me, with
no end in sight. Thanks, Mossie. You know who you are.

In addition, I would like to thank my beta readers, Amanda and
Jennifer, for quick work and excellent suggestions. This is the third time that
Goodreads members have come through for me and helped improve the story
immensely. Note that beta readers are neither editors nor proofreaders. Any
errors that remain are solely my own.

Note
from the Author

If you have enjoyed this book, please do me the favor of reviewing
it. Indie authors like myself do not typically have a budget for promotion;
instead we rely on word-of-mouth to help our audience find us among the tens of
thousands of titles now offered in eBook format. We are very grateful for every
review, and extra grateful for the positive ones. If you have comments,
suggestions, requests or rants, you are welcome to contact me at
[email protected]

and I will endeavor to answer.

Smashwords and Kobo.
