Acknowledgments
My Family – To my husband for always standing next to me and supporting me through out anything and everything. Sure, I annoy him, regardless he’s always there for me to lean on when I need to. Him and my children are constantly inspiring me to keep going and put up with my ramblings. Especially my husband since some things aren’t for children’s ears. To my youngest with the imagination that’s out there, if not for you I don’t know what I’d do to find my inner Bart. To my middle kid she’s my mini me through and through. No matter what she’s always got some sarcastic remark to throw and I end up using it as inspiration. To my oldest, thank you for just being you and making awesome old bay fries to munch on as I write.
My Betas – You guys rock! Thank you all for being the first to read the stories as they come alive. It means the world to me. Especially when you all start to get mad. That’s when I know I’m doing something right. And in doing so pushing me to keep going with all the different plots that form in my head. I’m thankful to you all for being ready and willing to read and give your input.
My Knox Publishing People – If it wasn’t for you all being helpful and encouraging when I need it, I don’t know what I’d do without you all. You’re all wonderful in your own right and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The biggest thing I’ve got to say I’m thankful for most, is the fact I’m able to be around those who understand the way my mind works. Each and every one of you have earned a special place in my life, one way or another.
Liz – My sister from another mister, my best friend and Publisher/Boss. You’re my go to when I need it. If not for you, I don’t know if I’d ever be where I am today with my writing. Thank you for always pushing me and encouraging me.
Diane – You’re my sanity. Without you taking everything on for me, I would not be able to focus the way I do on my writing. Thank you for everything you do. You’re not just my PA, you’re my friend and I couldn’t ask for a better friend than you. Thank you for helping me so much with translations.
Kim and Jackie – I know I’m a pain in the rear a lot of times for you guys; however, you both put up with me regardless. Thank you both for everything you do and for taking on all of my work. I love the fact I work with you both on each of them. Also, the fact when it comes to something I miss, you help me understand how to correct it, so it doesn’t happen again.

Broken Promises
Promises are simple words
But hold more weight than most
A promise is meant to be honored
Not broken like a piece of glass
Nor shattered into a million pieces
Promises are supposed to be cherished
As the weight of them hold true
It only takes a small act to tear it apart
Promises aren’t meant to be broken
Doesn’t matter what it is
They’re supposed to be kept
Words spoken from one to another
Yet they’re more than something so simple
They’re filled with trust
That if broken is
