A Merciful Promise

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I can’t believe this is the last Mercy book. I hope you’ve enjoyed her ups and downs over the six books. I suspect she or Truman might show up in a future book as a secondary character, because I find it hard to leave characters behind for good. I love dropping old characters into new stories as a surprise, and my readers tell me they love it too.

I can’t rave enough about my publishing team at Montlake. Anh, Hai-Yen, Galen, Mikyla, Gabby, Colleen, Adria, and so many more people work hard to get my books into the hands of readers. My success is because of them. I hope my editor, Charlotte Herscher, never leaves. She’s edited my books since my debut novel and has taught me many, many things about crafting a good story. My agent, Meg Ruley, is full of energy, smiles, ambition, and drive. Thank you for being in my corner.

My girls wait patiently when I beg for another minute to finish my train of thought at the keyboard when they need answers to important questions. Or not so important. Most of the time my reply is “That’s a question for Google.”

I’m blessed to have great kids; they are why I write.
