  Author’s Note

  I hope you enjoyed Layla and Chase's story! Originally I planned their story to be a novella. But somehow it morphed into a full-length book, with more than a few surprises that not even I knew were coming. (My characters only reveal things to me when they feel like it!) There's not a lot of action, per se, in The Dragon's Pursuit, but it expands the dragon universe even more with the Iranian clans. By now I'm sure you're starting to understand the big picture of where I'm going. :)

  You get an even bigger glimpse of this with the three-book dragon spinoff series coming this year, the one set in the USA. There were simply too many US dragon-shifters and clans to write one book in my Stonefire Dragons Universe series, and so the Tahoe Dragon Mates series was born. True, the US stories are shorter and steamy, but it makes for a fun break from everything else going on. I hope you give Jose and Tori a chance in The Dragon's Choice.

  As for what's next on Lochguard, you'll finally get to see Cat MacAllister and Lachlan MacKinnon get together. I hinted at them back in The Dragon Warrior. But never fear, I didn't forget about them! My goal is to have The Dragon Collective out in 2021, but I always try to keep the most up-to-date information on my website.

  And now, I have some people to thank for getting this out in the world:

  To Becky Johnson and her team at Hot Tree Editing. They always keep a sharp eye and don't hesitate to ask if ripping panties are really that easy.

  To Clarissa Yeo of Yocla Designs. She is amazing at cover design and this one is no exception.

  To all my beta readers—Sabrina D., Donna H., Sandy H., and Iliana G., you do an amazing job at finding those lingering typos and minor inconsistencies.

  And as always, a huge thank you to you, the reader, for sticking with me. Writing is the best job in the world and it's your support that makes it so I can keep doing it. If you've read the books and want to support me in another way, almost all of my dragon-shifter audiobooks either are, or will be soon, available in libraries around the globe. Take a listen and enjoy some lovely accents!

  Until next time, happy reading!
