The Haunted_Edit Copy 4-9-17 final final 4 Upload

Thank you, Rob, for opening my eyes to infinite
possibilities and igniting something inside me that had been
dormant. It is because of you that I finished this book. I have loved
every minute of our adventure together and I cannot thank you
enough for all of your love and support.
Thank you to all the amazing friends who took the time to
read the book and to offer me some feedback and reviews. Special
thanks to Steve for popping my ad in the magazine. Thank you,
specifically, to those who remembered to ask for updates and who
got excited and jumped around with me over this, especially
Larissa. Thank you, Eileen, my Surrogate Mom, for the most
wonderful, kind, and loving joy you showed for me. Thank you,
Keira, for hugging me even though neither of us are huggers, and
sorry for drawing attention to it (but not really).
Thank you, Emily, for writing ridiculous stories,
screenplays, and haikus with me for almost twenty years now and
keeping me inspired. The leprauchuna will be with me always.
Thank you, Bethany, for your unwavering support and for writing
with me so much. I will keep those smiley face boxers forever.
Thank you, Sputz, for getting me into the paranormal in the first
place and for taking many road trips to creepy, abandoned, and
allegedly haunted destinations to keep the fear alive. Thank you,
Chris, for sitting in the car, listening to Elvis, and working through
plot holes with me until 3am even when you had to be up for work
the next morning. Thank you, Pete, for having my back when the
lights went out from the very beginning, and Marti, for never
letting me wind up like Tucker. All of you mean the world to me.
Finally, thank you for making it all the way to this page. I
would hug you if I could. Never give up on creating your own
story, whatever that may be, and make sure to stay away from
demons in closets.
