A special thanks...

Of course with significant bias, I am convinced that Chasing's audience is comprised of especially spectacular people. Its storylines and characters ask so much of its readers, in terms of raw emotion, controversial issues, and some intervals of time, when it may have been more darkly serious than bubbily romantic. But with each twist and turn, you — the audience — were right there with Chloe, Philip, Mimi, Jason, Shawn, and Belle.
Pondering. Laughing. Crying.

And when you opened your hearts to a lonely boy, named Andy… I had no doubt what an amazing group of readers you all were — are. And why Chloe has become the hopeful young woman that she is, through "Phoenix" to "Chasing" and beyond. Because of our human ability to empathize and most importantly our individual and collective abilities to come through for one another in the end, our girl Chloe on her whirlwind journey has developed genuine faith in the best in people.

Please, know that you have my humblest gratitude. Your kind words of encouragement, suggestion, and generosity to believe inspired me to push myself that much more to be deserving of your readership. And so here we have reached the final passages of this truly unforgettable journey.

I present "Chasing the Sun."
