Thank you to Robin Harper, my talented and patient cover designer. I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to use this image. We couldn't get fonts right, and I was annoyed about word placement and brightness. It was a huge challenge, but as usual, we pulled it off, and we did it with no people on the cover! Look at us, keeping up with the times! Great job, Robin. See you next time!

Thank you to Give Me Books for all of your awesomeness! You always find space on your schedule for us, and we love you ladies! Thank you.

Thank you to all of my beta and ARC readers. Your enthusiasm seriously gives me life. I might not think I’m very good at this if it wasn’t for all of your encouragement and excitement. You helped me to make this book my best yet. Thank you all.

Thanks to all of the people in the Structures shop at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, where I wrote half of this novel. You guys were incredibly supportive, and made me feel like a fucking rock star. Well, only the night shift! I hope all of you have amazing careers and get to do whatever you want in this life. You’ve encouraged me to keep pursuing my seemingly impossible dream. Love y’all.

Lastly, thank you BookTok! I don't know why you love me so much, but you do! I know I’m one of very few men who actively thrive on BookTok, but you could ostracize me if you wanted to. Instead, you embrace me and make me feel like I have a future in this book game. I’m a success because of your support, and as my following continues to grow, I promise to keep working hard for you all. You can put your trust in me, even if you can’t trust other male authors. I got you.

Oh, I also want to thank indie publishing as a whole. If you think indie authors aren't good enough to be traditionally published, fuck you. Indie publishing is the way of the future, and plenty of us are making a living being indie. Hell, I’m not sure I want to have it any other way. You haters out there can keep limping your way through your manuscript for another five years, just to be butchered in the query process, but we’re making it happen over here. We’re clicking “publish” and making bank. Haters can eat a dick. If you think being indie isn’t as compelling or successful as being traditional, you should Google me. After that, Google yourself, and then go fuck yourself.

I found my lane while taking this journey. So, I can say with total confidence that my road forward is dark, kinky romance. There is so much more to come! Thank you for purchasing Kingdom!
