Dear Reader

T
hank
you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read Dare to Dance. I hope you enjoyed Kross and Ruby’s story. For me, it was the most emotional book to write. Several plot elements in this book are based on true events that have happened to me when I was young. I experienced some of Ruby’s challenges of being homeless, albeit for a very brief time. But that one time led me to a man much like Trent. Thankfully, I was like Ruby and got the hell out of there. However, I didn’t have a night in shining armor. Instead, I joined the military the very next day. I was also Raven. My mom died when I was a baby, and my dad dropped into a deep depression. So I ended up in foster care for many years until my dad got his act together. I struggled through my childhood and young adult years. Everyday, I thank God for watching over me. I’m grateful for the extended family I had who supported me, the friends who stood by me, and for the military who showed me the discipline to make it on my own. My heart goes out to all the homeless and foster kids out there. Never give up.

W
ith love

Acknowledgments

F
irst and foremost
, I want to thank my fans, readers and bloggers. Without you guys I wouldn’t be writing. You motivate me, you support me, and you encourage me. I’m humbled by all the reviews and messages I’ve received along the way. Hugs and kisses to each and every one of you for taking the time to take this journey with me and sharing your excitement.

To everyone in Maxwell Mania, I love the crap out of you. Thank you for loving the series, and the Maxwell boys. Most of all, thank you for spreading the word on the Maxwell Series.

The team at Red Adept Publishing is without a doubt the best editing team in the industry. Lynn, Alyssa, and Neila, thank you.

I can’t say enough about Streetlight Graphics and for my amazing covers. Love you guys.

Marketing a book is one of the hardest aspects for an author, and I’m so lucky and overjoyed that I met Marissa at JKS Communications. She had a vision for Dare to Kiss, and she has an even bigger vision for the future of my books. To Marissa, Angelle and the entire team at JKS, thank you for your insight, creativity, and dedication in helping me get the word out to readers around the world.

The publishing industry changes constantly, and without Katey Coffing’s inspiration and coaching I wouldn’t have come this far without her. Love you, girl.

Wendy Kupinewicz, you are a superb lady, a great friend, and poet. The poem in the Prologue you’ve written is perfect. Much love and thanks.

Kylie Sharp, thank you for all your support, feedback and advice. Love you.

Tracy Hope, you are my super fan. You’ve read my drafts and every line I’ve ever written, even when it was rewritten fifteen times. You’re honest in your feedback when something isn’t working. You kick me in the butt when I need it. And you’ve brought my books to life with your creative vision and superb producing skills of my book trailers. Love and hugs!

Finally, to my main squeeze, Bill, you have my heart! Love, love, love you.
