I want to thank everyone who entered to win a copy of the Verity Rising ebook and say congratulations to the one hundred of you who won!

I truly hope you enjoy the book!

I'm working hard to complete book 2 in the series so you won't be waiting too long to discover the fate of Theodonis Verity and company!
