I couldn't have done this without the love and support from so many. You know I didn't believe in my ability to write for so long that I wanted to slap myself in the head whenever someone said it was good. But God gave me this gift/talent for a reason. I never want to disbelieve in myself again.

First and foremost, I thank my parents. My mom and dad never stopped believing in me and listened, countless times, talk about the story and characters. And all the times I asked for their opinion and completely ignored it anyway. Thanks for never stop giving me them anyway. And thanks for always being so proud of me. Mom, you will always be my truest and bestest friend. I am blessed to have you. And dad you are my hero!

Thank you to my brothers who love me and are very protective over me. And Thomas, for listening to me read my chapters out loud even though he hates reading! I will have more to read to you soon enough. Thank you John for letting me be your biggest fan. You make me laugh and tell me how talented I truly am. I am your Padawan.
