Instinct

To Our Readers By L. J. Hachmeister

Thank you so much for purchasing this anthology. 70% of book sale profits are donated to Lifeline Puppy Rescue, a no-kill shelter for puppies in Brighton, Colorado. Each $20 raised means that one puppy is saved from a kill shelter or other dangerous situations. So, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for helping us share great stories and save lives.

A special note—this anthology would not be possible if it weren’t for each of these authors contributing a short story. I’d like to thank each one of them, but most of all, Sam Knight. Sam is the associate editor on this project and did the majority of edits on “Instinct.” He’s not only a fantastic editor and author, but also a good friend. Thanks, Sam!

I hope that after each story you give your own furry, scaly, and/or feathered friend a hug, for they are truly the ones that, in the end, rescue us.
