No wonder I’m a romance writer, you guys are my constant happily ever after. I love you.
Acknowledgements:
When it comes to this part of the writing process, I’m always amazed at how many people it takes to produce a book. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you.
First, a big thanks to my incredible critique group. Claudia, Linda, Dana, and Tammy, thank you for all the time and hard work you put into the critiques. And thank you for all the love and friendship you bring into my life.
A special thanks to Beth Hill, my editor and a true wordsmith. Thank you for being patient with me and forever catching my dangling modifiers. Maybe someday I’ll be able to catch them myself, but don’t hold your breath.
And to Jen and Kim in the Killion Group. Thank you for doing all the impossible, daunting things that I would never be able to swing on my own. And thank you for a beautiful cover that made me squeal when I saw it. You guys simply rock.
Last but never least, thank you to my wonderful family for all the patience and encouragement. Nothing I do would be possible without you.
Dear Reader,
I hope you enjoyed Jordan and Ty’s wild ride in Dream Huntress as much as I enjoyed writing it. I read several series with great anticipation because I love when authors use the same hero and heroine in each book. It’s like coming home and getting to visit with old friends.
I suppose it was a natural progression for me to begin writing about a couple that I love. As I think about the super-couples that keep me on the edge of my seat, I find myself anticipating their intimate, private moments as much as the heart-stopping suspense. That’s what I hope to give readers in the Dream Seeker Novellas. A bit of mystery and suspense, but also a very personal glimpse of Jordan and Ty as they navigate loving each other in a complicated world.
Not only do they live on the edge of danger with their law enforcement careers, but both have survived personal tragedies. Both are headstrong and stubborn. And they need each other like the rest of us need air to breathe.
So what are their most intimate conversations about? What do they say to each other right after making love? Do they get annoyed with each other? And how do they cope with Jordan’s visits from the dead?
But most of all, can they make a life together against the odds? If so, what will that life look like? That’s what we want know, right?
Dream Seeker novels will follow the bigger, all-consuming cases. But the novellas are a special personal snapshot of an extraordinary couple making a life together in an ordinary world. I hope you enjoy them, and I love hearing suggestions and feedback from readers. I hope you’ll drop me a line at my website: michellesharpbooks.com
