Alex, my uber blogger, who told me the stress never gets

Marcy – an amazing and humbling post. Truly my rock and

Angela Brown, author of Neverlove
and has one of the coolest pen names, Rayven Godchild for her self-pub series.
I blush even looking at the covers.
Ellie. One of my all-time, most favorite humans on Earth. I
mean she met Shaun (of the Dead) aka Scotty for Goodness sake.
Christine Rains – one of the most delightful (and talented)
authors I know, author of The Thirteenth
Floor series.
Heather, author of Maguire’s
Corner. Her next book in the series, One
