Writing a novel can seem like a huge, daunting undertaking, almost impossible to achieve. With the help of devoted mentors, it's still huge and daunting, but certainly not impossible to achieve.

It is with a note of gratitude in my heart that I write this. Without the guidance of my mentors, Sarah Lovett and Mary Bergida DeLuca, Lullabies in Bedlam could not have been written. Their support, expertise, and wisdom helped immeasurably. Thank you to you both!
