Bones met my gaze, and one look in his eyes told me everything.<br />
“Son <strong>of</strong> a bitch,” I whispered, my emotions swirling faster than a blender set on high as disbelief gave way to realization. Then I strode toward <strong>the</strong><br />
area where Bones had been staring.<br />
“Donald Bartholomew Williams,” I called out loudly. “Get your ass back here now!”<br />
Acknowledgments<br />
<strong>This</strong> might look long-winded but it actually doesn’t scratch <strong>the</strong> surface to acknowledge all <strong>the</strong> vital persons involved in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Night</strong> <strong>Huntress</strong> series.<br />
For everyone I don’t mention by name, please know it’s not out <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> appreciation, but simply lack <strong>of</strong> room instead.<br />
As usual, I have to start <strong>of</strong>f by thanking God for all <strong>the</strong> amazing opportunities I’ve been given. I remember when all I asked for was a book to be<br />
published. Luckily for me, You had much bigger plans.<br />
Thanks so much to my wonderful editor, Erika Tsang, and <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fabulous team at Avon Books. Nancy Yost, my agent, continues to be<br />
worth her weight in gold. A big shout-out goes to Tage, Erin, Kimberley, and Carol, for all you ladies do over at Frost Fans. Thanks so much also to<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Night</strong> <strong>Huntress</strong> readers for your support <strong>of</strong> Cat, Bones, and <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir “twisted little fang family.” I will never be able to articulate how much I<br />
appreciate you spreading <strong>the</strong> word about <strong>the</strong> series or contacting me with notes <strong>of</strong> encouragement. “You rule!” doesn’t even begin to cover it.<br />
Thanks to Miriam Struett and Angelika Szakбcsi, winners <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Name That Kitty contest. I think Helsing (short for Van Helsing) is <strong>the</strong> perfect<br />
name for Cat’s cat!<br />
And, <strong>of</strong> course, endless love and thanks go to my husband and family, for more things than I could ever begin to list.<br />
I hope you enjoyed <strong>This</strong> <strong>Side</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grave</strong>.<br />
Dear Reader:<br />
If you can’t wait to find out what’s next for Bones, Cat, and her uncle, here is an excerpt from <strong>the</strong> next novel in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Night</strong> <strong>Huntress</strong> series, available<br />
Fall 2011. Just before <strong>the</strong> scene you’re about to read, Cat received a call from Tate asking her to come to <strong>the</strong> compound to meet <strong>the</strong> new<br />
“operations consultant,” cryptically adding for her to bring Don along, too.<br />
Thanks, and happy reading!<br />
