I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has helped me along this journey.

My husband, my family and my friends have all been completely supportive and I want to let them know how much I appreciate their help.

Thank you to James Gillen, author of Tortured Skin, for your pointers, professsional critique, and support. Lets take the world of vampires back.

Those of you who read the very, very rough versions of the manuscript and gave me feedback, I know it was painful and I thank you. I don't know that I could've done this without your help.

My friends on Myspace have also been great and inspiring. Thank you to everyone who has read the blogs and left feedback, read the chapters posted on the web, and sent encouraging emails.

I am 32 years old, married, with no children. I am a network engineer by trade who has a creative side that has been begging to be set free.

I enjoy taking photographs of scenery and cemeteries (that has to sound horribly cliche'.) I spend free time writing, doing digital graphics, and following my husband's band.

I have spent the past 5 years working on a series of books, the first of which will soon be available for purchase. I welcome all feedback, so please feel free to email me anytime.

I don't really know what else to say about myself, so I will leave you with this; take time out of your day to stop and smell the roses, to look into the sun's warming rays of light, and most of all be kind to people every chance you get.
