Thank you for taking the time to read this book.

Hurting and Deserting is a book which I have loved every second of. It's also the book I am the most proud of. 

I want to say just how much I appreciate every person who has taken the time to read this far and if you've followed Alice and Alexander since the beginning I thank you.

Now for a few mentions of people who helped me get here:

@Beetlemaniac  

Thank you my friend for reading every chapter. Knowing that at least one person would read the new chapters made me want to keep writing. I along with you wanted to see what Alice and Alexander would get up to and I hope you're as happy as I am with how they ended up. 

Thank you for convincing me to keep writing. I look forward to going on the same journey with you in The Runaway Rebels.

Thank you for being there to give me advice when I needed it as well as being an inspiration to many of us. A week ago I'm not sure I would have continued but now that I know you, among many others care so much about me I know I'm not going anywhere. You're all stuck with me for a long while yet :)

@Kathy_Marwin

Thank you for doing a read for read with me. I hope than when you've read to this point You'll be satisfied too, but until then thanks for being a great friend and for being just as weird as I am :) 

And lastly thank YOU. If you're not one of the people above I still appreciate you for reading this. You are special and you are a gift to the world. You being here having read this book makes me so happy and I hope to see you in all my future works. 

Never forget, you will always have a place here and I will always be here to be a friend or whatever else you need. Whether it's a laugh or just someone to rant with. (Kathy and I did a lot of this last week lol (: )

But seriously thanks for sticking around and until next time. The Chicken is out.
