Edge of Valor: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller(102)
The sun returned, and beneath its nourishing warmth, the whole world opened up like a flower reaching for the sky.
You had to endure. You had to hold on. No matter what lay ahead, what challenges and hardships, she knew they would meet them.
They were a family.
They were together.
And, in the end, wasn’t that everything?
Liam glanced back at her over his shoulder. A slow open smile creased his features, his gray-blue eyes shining.
Hannah smiled back. And she lifted her face toward the sun.
I hope you enjoyed Edge of Valor, the epic conclusion to the Edge of Collapse survival series.

Author’s Note
Endings are bittersweet.
I admit, I shed a tear or two while writing a few scenes, particularly Quinn’s last scene when she fully comprehends what it means to be a warrior—how much it takes from you, how to live with the scars.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the Collapse series. I hope it’s everything you wanted it to be and more than you expected.
I have worried over these characters for a year and a half. They’ve lived in my head and whispered in the back of my mind. It’s hard to leave them, but I feel that it’s the right time.
They’ve overcome so much—I have faith that they can face whatever comes next. I hope that they will live on in your heart the same way that they do mine. The characters may not exist in real life, but the emotions they elicit in us are certainly real.
I appreciate my readers more than I can ever say. I cherish your emails, FB messages, and reviews. It is such a special thing to be able to share the world and characters populating my brain with others who get it and love them as much as I do.
I hope you stick around for my next series. While Hannah and Liam’s story may be over, I’m not finished with the post-apocalyptic worlds that we all love. I can’t wait to create new characters, new journeys, and new end-of-the-world scenarios.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share this world with you.
Until next time, Kyla
Acknowledgments
As I finish up this wonderful series, I want to give heartfelt thanks to the behind-the-scenes readers who give early feedback on the raw manuscript.
To my fabulous BETA readers: Fred Oelrich, Lauren Mae Nikkel, Melva Metivier, Wmh Cheryl, Jim Strawn, Sally Shupe, Jenny Avery, Jose Jaime Reynoso, Randy Hasting, Vanessa Mccutcheon, Elaine Bak, and Courtnee McGrew. Your thoughtful critiques and enthusiasm are invaluable.
To Michelle Browne for her line editing skills. Thank you to Joanna Niederer and Annette King for proofreading.
Special thanks to David Kepford for his technical support and excellent advice regarding all things military. It was a blast emailing questions and answers back and forth. I appreciate your patience!
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to George Hall, a real life Special Forces hero who helps me bring the character of Liam to life. Liam would not be who he is without George.
Any errors are my own.
Thank you to our armed forces who put their lives on the line to keep us safe and protect freedom around the world.
To my husband, who takes care of the house, the kids, and the cooking when I’m under the gun with a writing deadline. To my kids, who show me the true meaning of love every day and continually inspire me.
Thanks to God for His many blessings. He is with us even in the darkest times.
And to my loyal readers, whose support and encouragement mean everything to me. Thank you.
