Chosen (23 page)

And she thought nothing worse could ever happen—until they climbed down off the rock and found their van surrounded by black-clad Chosen guards.

Nathan was sitting in the driver’s seat.

EPILOGUE

Cayne moaned. It was dark. He was being carried.

“You’re awake.” Edan.

“You…”

“
Somairhle
, your spidey sense was right: I do know about your past, seeing as I was there for it.”

“Wha…”

“I know, right? We go way back, you and me. And here’s the best part: I’m finally taking you to meet your Dad.”

ACKNOWLDGEMENTS:

I know every author says their readers are the best, but mine really are. I couldn’t in good conscience put out another book without saying thank you to the amazing friends I’ve made since Stained was published last fall. Book bloggers, Facebook followers, writer friends, fans of this series and my other books…each and every one of you make my life brighter. Thank you for the random midnight Facebook pep talks, for the fun fan mail, for the kind reviews, for the retweets and shares. Thank you to the many bloggers who showed me such patience and kindness during an insane six-week blog tour. I remember what you’ve done for me, and it means a lot. If you’re a reader who’s followed me for three books, I thank you most for that. Fans like that are every writer’s dream.

ABOUT EDITING:

I love almost everything about being an indie author. One of the few things I don’t love is lack of easy and affordable access to the number of editors available to a traditionally published author. Did you know traditionally published books are often edited by two to four different editors? They have editors for storyline continuity and editors for grammar. Indie authors pay their editors out-of-pocket—and they usually have only one. Even the best editor can’t stack up against three or four, and if you’ve read indie books, you’ve probably noticed that they usually have more typos. As an author, I know typos can distract from a good story, and I hate them. If you find a copy error in one of my books, please e-mail me. My e-mail address is [email protected]. I would welcome your keen eye—so much so that I’m offering to pay you 5 cents for every typo you spot. (The only caveat is we have to agree on its incorrectness). This message is at the end of the book rather than the beginning because I don’t want you to go looking for errors. (There are easier ways to win money from me. Check out my Facebook page; I do giveaways all the time!) But if you are the sort that notices every error, my apology to you is this offer.
