Jason, it is exciting to see you become an author in your own right. Your advice has always been great but since you’ve taken your writing seriously it has become more precise and granular. I appreciate all you’ve done for me, and look forward to the day you publish your own work.
Coral, Samantha, Oz, Kellye, and Lisa, you are all an inspiration to me. 2020 has sucked in many ways, one of which was that we haven’t gotten to see each other. Zoom just isn’t the same. Even though I haven’t submitted much to critique group lately, I love reading your amazing stories. Thank you all so much for making me a better writer.
Isaac, I can always count on your enthusiasm and insightful comments and they have made this story better. More importantly, they have provided me critical support. Ranking so high on your favorite author list is something I am very proud of. Thank you so much for your help.
I said this in all my acknowledgments, but it remains the truth: my Patrons are special people. All the authors I know battle self doubt and the incredible resistance to not only writing your inner thoughts, but placing them where everyone can tell you how much they suck. The antidote to those people and to the inner demons that want you to stop, are the superfans of this series. My patrons hold a special place in my heart. You keep me motivated to continue. I know for a fact this book would not exist without you. Thank you so so much.
Mom, previously I have talked about how from the beginning you supported me and allowed me to believe I was good enough to do this. Your continued support and your enthusiasm for this series, which you listen to while driving to see your grand kids, means the world to me. Thank you for always being there for me. Literally from the start.

Author’s Note
It makes me so happy that this series has resonated with others. Thank you for supporting this story.
In my last Author’s Note I told you my goal was to produce books faster while keeping the same (or better) level of quality. Unfortunately, the The Fourth Secret has taken me almost eight months to release, the opposite of what I intended. I learned a lot of lessons writing this book, and I hope that the fifth book takes half the time.
I don’t take any of this for granted, and I’m grateful every day that we have found each other.
Sincerely and truly, I appreciate you taking the time to read this story.
Shade’s First Rule: move fast alone, travel far together.
Let’s go far.
