Changing Faces (25 page)

E
ACH YEAR, THERE ARE
always so many people who continue to show me such amazing love and support, but of course, I must begin by thanking God for everything.

Will, for being the love of my life for fifteen years; my mom, for being such a huge blessing when she was alive and even now that she is gone; my brother Willie, for suggesting the title
Changing Faces,
and my brother Michael, for recommending my work to readers online and everywhere else; my stepson and daughter-in-law, Trenod and LaTasha, for being so caring toward me; my aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews for all their love and support; Lori, Kelli, and Janell, the women in my life who are there for me daily and have been for twenty-plus years. There is nothing in the world that compares to family and true friends and I love each and every one of you.

My agent, Elaine Koster; my editor, Carolyn Marino; my publisher, Lisa Gallagher; and all the other wonderful people at HarperCollins/William Morrow who work hard at elevating my career.

My website designer, Pamela Walker Williams, at Pageturner.net and my freelance publicist, Tara Brown, for all that both of you do to promote my work.

My author friends whom I communicate with regularly.

Dr. Betty Price at Crenshaw Christian Center for such tremendous encouragement and support. What a blessing you have been to me over the last couple of years.

All of the bookstores who sell my books, every person in the media who publicizes them, and all of the FABULOUS book clubs and individual readers who read my stories. I am indebted to all of you.

Much love and God bless,

Kimberla Lawson Roby
