Special thanks to Eileen O'Melay (my mom) for your invaluable help and encouragement, my husband and love of my life Clayton Slater for always believing in me and for your encouragement, Richard O'Melay (my dad) for taking the time to pose so I could get the proportions right, Travis Slater (my son) for the inspiration to write the books, Ashley Slater (my daughter) for the push to get them finished for my granddaughter Jessalyn Eileen Foster and Kaedence Ray Slater, my grandson Cillian Lex Slater and the three grandsons that will soon be here Collin Martin Slater, Colton Martin Slater, Conner Martin Slater. I love you all! I hope everyone enjoys these books as much as I have creating them.
