Acknowledgments

I want to thank my beta readers who have helped me with the stories of Saira and Warrior Demoness. They have traveled with me on my journey in creating the Illusionist series and were instrumental in getting me to my destination. Thank you Alex D'Brassis, Lee McLean, and Kimberly, my betas... and Mary K. Bosshart, my alpha reader.

To Pam, your help is invaluable in both beta reading and proofing my stories. Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Sheri Dragon, my cover artist. Everyone who sees your creations is amazed at your ability to capture the essence of each story. The covers are phenomenal.

Roxanne Jones... As always, I'm amazed at your computer wizardry. You continue to offer the world the opportunity to enjoy products they normally couldn't access through conventional methods. Keep up the great work.

To A.L.... thanks for encouraging me to write.

And yes, to Howie, who is still wondering why I mention him.
