I'm doing what I love. And I realize that I would not even be in this position had it not been for the amazing people around me who have kept me grounded, focused and motivated every step of the way.
To my readers . . . you guys. YOU GUYS. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to have such awesome readers to support me & these characters. You all have breathed life into Dorian and Gabs. Whether you 1-clicked the ebooks or paperbacks, I am just so honored that you have chosen their story. I can't tell you how great it feels to see your enthusiasm through comments, messages, tweets, etc. I LOVE YOU GUYS. Seriously. Could not have made it this far without you!
To my street team & fan groups: Jonesin' for Jennings, SL's Smart Asses & Dorian's Little Ruined Ones . . . big hugs and sloppy kisses to all of you!!! You guys are the shiznit! Pimpin' ain't easy, but you sure know how to make it look good!
There are some amazing bloggers out there who have pimped THE HELL out of the Dark Light Series. I know I won't be able to name them all (and I truly do apologize) but HUGE THANKS to every blog that has supported me since day one.

Like I said, I truly do not mean to leave anyone out! And if I did, please chalk it up to my head and not my heart.
I definitely have to thank the ladies that ensured that Light Shadows was right and tight . . . my beta team. Lisa Chamberlain, Maureen Sytsma, Yaya Cintron, Alicia Wilson and Sharon Goodman. You ladies are truly rock stars & I am so grateful to have worked with each one of you. We did it!
Extra special thanks to my ace, my right hand, my partner in crime . . . Mo. I swear, I owe you, woman! I can't even put into words how much you've done for me, but know that I am thankful from the bottom of my heart. I could not have done it without you!
Huge thanks to Sassy Savvy PR & Marketing for all their hard work & dedication. Sharon & Melissa . . . it's been a dream working with you! Seriously, you've gone above and beyond for me, and I could not ask for more. Thank you for your help & your friendship.
To my sisters in the trenches: Rebecca Shea, Claire Contreras, Emmy Montes, Gail McHugh, Mia Asher, Madeline Sheehan, Karina Halle, AL Jackson, RK Lilley, Raine Miller, Nicole Jacquelyn, Cindy Brown, Barbie Bohrman, Kendall Grey, Michelle Valentine, Lynetta Halat, LB Simmons, Abbi Glines, Christine Zolendz, Tillie Cole, Trudy Stiles, Roxy Sloane, Katie Ashley, Kyla Linde, Jennifer Berg, Carey Heywood . . . You all inspire me daily. Thank you for your continued love and support. There is truly something amazing to be said about women that uplift and encourage other women. I am glad to have met each and every one of you!
Much love to my editor, Tracey Buckalew, who knows my brain and my words like no one else. I love you, woman! Thank you x1000!
To Kara Hildebrand, who signed on at the last minute to help a sista out . . . thank you!!!
Big thanks to Champagne Formatting, who totally rocked it out, even with all my indecisiveness & procrastinating! Great job!
Last but not least, I must thank my family. It's not easy having a wife and mother for a writer. There are lots of fast food and/or fend-for-yourself nights. Mountains of dirty laundry and less than sparkly living rooms. And times where you may have felt that I was there . . . but not quite there. To my husband and children, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to be who I was meant to be. Thank you for loving me despite my laundry list of domestic faults. Everything I do, and have done, is for you. I love you more than you could ever know.
And thank YOU. The person reading these words right now. I think you're pretty awesome. :)

Most known for her starring role in a popular sitcom as a child, S.L. Jennings went on to earn her law degree from Harvard at the young age of 16. While studying for the bar exam and recording her debut hit album, she also won the Nobel Prize for her groundbreaking invention of calorie-free wine. When she isn't conquering the seas in her yacht or flying her Gulfstream, she likes to spin elaborate webs of lies and has even documented a few of these said falsehoods.
Some of S.L.'s devious lies:
TAINT
FEAR OF FALLING
THE DARK LIGHT SERIES
Dark Light
The Dark Prince
Nikolai (a Dark Light novella)
