However, I had a lot of help along the way in getting these stories out. I am extremely grateful to Becky Johnson of Hot Tree Editing for responding to my, “Hey! I have a new idea! Can you book me in the next few weeks for this awesome story I’m going to write now?” with a “Sure, we’ll make it work.” Becky and her team have made me a better writer.
I also need to thank Clarissa Yeo of Yocla Designs for my gorgeous covers. I asked for a hot guy and a dragon on the cover, and she came back with the eye-catching red cover we all know from Part One. She is extremely talented, and I am lucky to have her as my cover artist.
Jayelle Anderson is my “beginnings” critique partner (I suck at openings, and she always helps me with them). It was because of her questions that I was able to make my world-building that much more believable. She has an awesome web comic, Anaria, and you should check it out (Anaria.net)!
And finally, I can’t thank The Wolf Pack enough for their support and steady stream of man candy. It helps to keep me sane. :)
Thanks everyone! If you don’t completely hate me for killing off Caitriona Belmont (sorry, it had to be done! It’ll make sense eventually…), then I hope you’ll join me for Bram and Evie’s story, Seducing the Dragon.
Happy reading!
About the Author
Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering The Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, she realized people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.
After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets. In late 2014, she officially became a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author.
Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading a book or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, she can often be found on Facebook either on her Author Page or in her Fan Group. You can email her at: [email protected].
