With love and gratitude to my writing pals, who keep me sane when times are bad and celebrate when times are good— MJ Selle, Vicky Dreiling, Vicky Yelton, and Sandy Weider.
Also, my sincerest gratitude to these brilliant women—my agent, Michelle Grajkowski,and my editor, Erika Tsang.
I am indebted to the following people for their assistance: A big thanks to everyone at Dr. Stephanie Troeger's Dental Clinic in Katy, Texas, for helping me to successfully re-implant a vampire's fang.
Thanks also to Paul Weider, whose ideas on digital technology opened up a world of exciting possibilities, including a vampire television network. I'd like to thank my husband, Don Sparks, for naming the network. Another round of thanks must go to fellow writers at the West Houston and Northwest Houston chapters of Romance Writers of America, for their unfailing support. And finally, my eternal gratitude to my husband and children, for all their patience and encouragement.
