Thanks to Noel Harrison, Rebecca Murphy, Deb Ellsworth, Elizabeth Erwin, and Lynne Geoffrey for reading the first book and giving me feedback and hope.

I love receiving emails from my readers. All emails will be answered-it may not be immediate as I also have to write my books each day, but you will hear back from me.

AFTERWORD.

I no longer practice law and for that I am grateful. The practice of law is difficult and will wear you down in a hurry.

Now I make my living writing these books. As a self-published author, my lifeline is your review of my books on Amazon. If you could take a moment and write an Amazon review and just tell others how you felt about this book, that would be huge for me and I would sincerely appreciate your help.

In the meantime I will keep asking Thaddeus et al what comes next and I will try to write it down for you, hopefully pleasing you once again.
