Exit Wound (17 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I’d like to thank the following people for their contribution into making this book, my life’s work and dream, become a possibility.

Cary L. Schultz Stanley, my wise beyond her years best friend and soul sister: thank you for always listening to me rant about this book, day or night, finals or no finals, lots of homework or no homework, bad day or good day. Thank you for putting up with me for so long, and thank you for inspiring me to be a better person and to forgive more often.

Megan Jackson, the most amazing CP and Beta-Reader I could have ever come across in my life. You helped me day and night with this story, and you fell in love with it just as I did so many years ago. Thank you for being patient with me, and for dedicating all of your free time to editing this novel for me. When this is in print, I owe you another coffee date.

To my Local Library and Writing Group: Thanks for being excited with me when I finished this novel, for telling me how good it was, and for celebrating with me when I told y’all I got this publishing deal. I am so grateful for you ladies and gents. I hope I’ll be able to be a good writing group manager always.

Mom, Dad, Munner, Grandpa: Thank you for putting up with me for twenty-one years, Mom. Thanks for choosing me, Dad. Thanks for putting up with the late night paper jams, low-ink beeping and printer hogging, Munner. And Grandpa, thanks for taking all my crap, and promptly ignoring it. I love you all, even though you do really drive me mad.

And finally, to Kristopher R. Benitez: My best friend, and love of my life. I’m glad I can call you both. Thank you for always putting up with my craziness, and for just rolling with the punches. Thank you for all the times you’ve spent just listening to me rant about this book while I was writing, editing, revising, or doing anything remotely work-like with it. Thank you for giving me the chance to share this experience with you. Because that is something I want to be able to do the rest of our lives. So prepare to become bored and annoyed with me as I embark on making more stories, because you’re going to hear about it a lot more very soon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Alexandra Moore. I’ve been creating stories since I could talk. I’ve been putting them onto paper since I could write. Writing books is my dream and my passion, along side with rescuing African Pygmy Hedgehogs, retired race Greyhounds, French Bulldogs, and other various animals I’m probably allergic too.

I’m convinced I’m the blood of the dragon, and the Mother of Dragons.

When I’m not watching GoT, I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy (again) on Netflix, and crying over all the MerDer feels. I also spend time with my Boston Terrier Tank and my boyfriend. Both are my cuddle buddies, and I’m afraid the dog is around more often. I don’t bite (unless provoked) so feel free to tweet at me, or leave a comment on one of my InstaPics. I can’t wait until my book is in print, and to share my thoughts with the rest of the world.
