Thank you to Elizabeth Harper, for her vision for Omnific and for giving my zombies the perfect home. She’s our fairy godmother—no really, ask any author at Omnific, and they will say the same—and it’s been a privilege releasing books with someone so willing to take risks for her authors to give them a shot at something great.
Thank you always to my wonderful husband, Anthony, and my two children, Liv and Will. They have been my rocks through all of this. To my fellow Omnizombie boo, T. A. Brock, for keeping me sane behind the scenes. To my parents, Paul and Paula, who have been a huge support through my career.
I don’t even know where these zombies would be right now if it weren’t for Traci Olsen, who I am convinced is a wizard or at the very least, magical. When Love in the Time of the Dead went under contract, I was wide-eyed, nervous as hell, and had no idea about the adventure I was about to go on with this woman. T, we’ve had some fun with these zombies, haven’t we?
And last but not least…readers, if you’re reading this, it means you’ve gone through all three books of the Dead Rapture series, and been affected by these characters who have made me feel so much.
You have given these characters life inside of your imaginations.
You are the reason I write.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
About the Author
Tera Shanley writes in sub-genres that stretch from Paranormal Romance, to Historic Western Romance, to Apocalyptic (zombie) Romance. The common theme? She loves love. A self-proclaimed bookworm, she was raised in small town Texas and could often be found decorating a table at the local library. She currently lives in Dallas with her husband and two young children, and when she isn’t busy running around after her family, she’s writing a new story or devouring a good book. Any spare time is dedicated to chocolate licking, rifle slinging, zombie slaying, friend hugging, and the great outdoors. For more information about Tera and her work, visit:
