Dominique

Where would I be without my number one slayer and life long friend? Even if you are thousands of miles away, your inspiration and friendship has meant the world to me.  Thank you for your respect and encouragement, and your sly and never apologetic attitude. If I had never gotten to know you I would have missed out on the strongest, most noble women in my life. Thank you!

Cynthia

 

Ah, my gentle evil temptress (all of which I mean in a good way). You have taught me how to be gentle and kind without being weak or inferior. Gentle Prowess should indeed be your title. You bring so much joy into the lives of those you touch, and have such a power for good.  I have never met anyone like you, and never will.  Thank you!

Kendra

 

My first set of editing hands.  Kendra, you are the epitome of loyalty - even if you don't know it yet.  From Newman's European history class to the last time I saw you, you never cease to put a smile on my face.  With such sparkle, there is no wonder why you get to play Isis... at least for a while... because she and you have so much in common.  Thank you!

Cassi

 

I don't even know where to begin with you, Cassi.  My co-conspirator!  Without you I wouldn't have used my own name in the book - that's for sure!  But without you, there would be no book.  My leading lady - inspiration doesn't even come close to describing you. Just as in the book, I have no doubt you would do anything for your friends.  Thank you for being mine!

Melanie

 

A constant and an example, never before have I learned so much from nothing more than watching someone.  The way you live your life, your dedication to your friends and family, and your tried-and-true leadership are what I think of every time I think of you.  Granted you wanted to lead a band of the bad guys, but hey, leadership is leadership.  You must have bad days, but I have yet to see one.  Thank you!

Sara

 

I have to start this one off with, "I love you!"  Always upbeat and ready to brighten my day, you have the ability to uplift everyone around you.  You have lifted me while I was down, and made me laugh on a daily basis.  Your sense of humor is timeless, and your kindness contagious.  Thank you!

Nanette

 

Every time I think of you, I remember Blythe Spirit, and how hilarious it was - all because of you.  You are a pillar of strength and have a free spirit that is delightful.  I know I still owe you a date ;)  And hey!  You got to kill Jenny Porter!  Love ya Nanny, and wish you the best.  Thank you!

Annalee

 

I remember when I tried to write the prophecy for my book, and just couldn't get it to sound prophetic.  I honestly sounded like something that would be read at a circus!  Without you, this book would not have its core.  It is YOUR talent for writing that has always encouraged me, and your friendship that got me through the toughest times in my life.  I will always cherish you. Thank you!

James

You must be worried that a camera is going to steal your soul, because there IS no picture of you that I can find!  James, you are so strong and so amazing at everything you do, how can you be so willing to pass that all onto the people in your life?  You taught me a love for the horrific and a talent for the supernatural that is literally responsible for every piece I write.  If I could FIND you I'd tell you this in person!  Thank you and E-mail me!
