Acknowledgments
An author may sit alone at the computer, but no book is complete without help. My sister, Angelique Conger, is my greatest supporter, cheerleader, and encourager. She encourages me to keep going, to keep writing, and get my stories into the world. My editor, Amy Maddox, helped to make this story better and I can’t thank her enough. To my beta readers, Angelique Conger, and Kathryn Farver, my thanks for reading my story and giving me input that helped me tell a better story. And especially to my daughter, Sasha Robertson, you have made me become a better person by being your parent. I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing daughter.
Thank you to all the authors I’ve had the pleasure of reading their stories and making me want to tell my own. Without story, this world would be a much poorer place.
To all my readers, thank you for spending time with my stories and letting me be a part of your life. I hope you love them as much I loved writing them.
Bright Blessings
Tora Moon writes all genres of fantasy and especially loves to write stories which allow the reader to journey into worlds full of magic and escape their ordinary lives for a time. Mythology, folklore, and ancient cultures and religions fascinate her and find their way into her stories.
Besides reading some of her hobbies are sewing, crocheting, and making wire wrapped jewelry. Her love of travel has taken her to several countries and saw her living in an RV for several years. She makes her home in the southwestern desert with her feline companion.
