As Promised there are the first NINE chapters of Shattered, but before you delve into these pages, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to you, from the very core of my heart. Thank you for choosing to embark on this journey with me and for taking the time out of your busy day to explore this preview of my book. Your willingness to engage with my work means the world to me.

This endeavor, this creation, has been a labor of love, and I am incredibly thankful for every single one of you who has joined me on this path. It is my sincere hope that you find as much joy and meaning within these words as I did in writing them. May this brief glimpse into the world I've crafted ignite a spark of curiosity, making you eager to continue reading and discover what lies beyond these initial pages.

In memory 

My Uncle Ricky, who I know would be shouting from the rooftops. I miss you every day. 

My grandpa, who was quiet but proud, passing down his imagination and gift for writing to his daughter, who passed it down to me.
