Dear Readers,

At the time writing this novel, I’m currently on my fourth year of writing. Shining Moonlight was my first story I completed several times to perfection. I keep continuingly going back to this world. It was my first one which I dearly love every aspect of it. It is very emotional tale to write since it connects to me personally. As I grow older it gets better as a tale and I hope those who read it, enjoy it. I call this version of it "Looking into Those Eyes."

I dedicate this version to special people in my life.

I grant my father this book because he has supported me through my dyslexia and helps edit more work. If it weren’t for him I would have not been able to be as distressed about writing. (This is not edited, so caution and ask questions if needed.)

I give this book with my heart to Emily Steinstra who knows this story more of the story than anyone. I love her and she has explored this world with me and knows the history by heart. I thank her for helping me develop such a tale and I miss her every day.

This book is gifted to Matthew Murphy, he reminds me of some of the characters I imagined as a little girl. I feel as if his own tale was jumped right out of a story. He was an honor to meet and I love spending time with him. He has helped me in many ways see the world in even little angles.

To Adrian, who was the first person who I met actually enjoying my stories for the first time without barely knowing me! It was impacting and I write this for him to enjoy.

Also to my Aunt who I love very much and was the first person to shake their head yes, I was a writer. Thank you silently being in the back ground encouraging me through the process of each tale I put down.

For ever one reading this, thank you and enjoy my favorite story. Now come into my world and see what I have instore for you as a person.
