To my BFF of half my life, Yvonne Wilson, for coaxing me out of pretty-pink-princess-picking-flowers mode.

To Mathew Weaver, Nolan Heath and Rebecca Haggist for sheer support and sweetness. To more friends and talented writers, Sebastian Starcevic, Amber Forbes and Rachelle Shaw, for fantastic advice. To my beta readers, Heather Hofstetter, Ali Hodges and Mariah Wilson for your awesome critiques and priceless friendship. To Marisa Chenery for superb edits, and to Perry Prete and the team at Sands/Sandman Press for patiently answering incessant questions and for giving SLOW ECHOES a chance. Also thanks to my parents, Roberto and Pamela Serrano, and family for listening to my constant dreams of becoming an author.

Always first, I praise my Lord Jesus Christ.
