ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Let’s raise a toast and shout a big “hurrah-hurrah” for those heartwarming, “unreal” happy endings—those passionate, irresistible, all-consuming kisses, the kind that “carry poison,” in an intimate apartment in Seattle, with the belief that true love always prevails, no matter how improbable or illogical it may seem for two people to meet, connect, and achieve their “Happy Ending”.

​

It can be done.

It can be done.

​

Jessica and Alex hold a special place in my heart.

From the very beginning, they became part of my mind.

Every experience, every thought, and every conflict was a unique journey.

I cherished every single minute of writing this beautiful love story.

Their story wouldn’t have been possible without the help I received along the way, so I want to take this moment to say thank you.

​

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

​

First and foremost, to my readers: thank you for being the best part of my journey as a writer.

I never take your time, your love, or your support for granted, and I hope you enjoyed reading “A Happpy Ending” as much as I enjoyed writing it.

​

To Andrés: What can I say that I haven’t already? Thank you for being my sounding board and my greatest support.

Whether I’m stuck on a plot point or simply need someone to talk to, you’re always there, and I’m so grateful to call you, my friend.

​

To my alpha readers, Abigail, Rosa, and Tiffany: Your reactions and emojis never fail to make me smile, and your feedback helps my stories shine. Thank you for being my unwavering support!

​

To my beta readers, Karina, Deyanira, Theresa, Kimberly, and Jessica: Each of you brought something unique that allowed me to see different parts of the story from fresh perspectives.
Thank you so much for sharing your time and suggestions with me; you helped take this book to the next level.

​

To Karla and Angela: Thank you for your detailed notes, your insights into Indian culture, and your ability to translate into Spanish.

I couldn’t have done this without you.

​

To Claudia: Thank you for editing this book. Your attention to detail is always appreciated!

​

To Mary: Thank you for sharing your notes and expertise on various syndromes, including the “Electra complex,” chronic fatigue syndrome, the causes and symptoms of heart attacks, CPR procedures, the use of epinephrine, and medical and forensic details in general.

I deeply appreciate the time and expertise you so generously shared.

​

To Carlos: We’ve got another “Peacock” cover for the books! Irresistible, magnetic, and eye-catching (no pun intended). Working with you is always a pleasure. Thank you for being not only an incredible designer but also an incredible human being.

To my agent Paul and the Amazon team: I’m so grateful to have you on my side. You’re all rock stars!

​

To the Hindu community: Thank you for your patience, your teachings, your hospitality, camaraderie, and openness.

​

​The chronicle of my farewell that I wrote on that final day in your land remains close to my heart. As the time came to pack my bags again and move on to new places, I reflected that the simplest, clearest sentiment to define a relationship with someone is sympathy.

When you say you like someone, there’s no need for explanations or reasons: you like them, and that’s that. It’s much like love (love is a drug), and I find it absurd to ask someone why they love another person when we all know that love is so blind it convinces us the person, we love is near-perfect, despite knowing full well that no one is perfect.

Over these past years, my friends from Khajuraho (Yurau) have given me endless amounts of that good energy they share among themselves, paired with a diet as delicious as it is healthy (90% vegetarian), imaginative, and diverse. Better than that? Impossible—though I have gained some weight!

In the morning, I write, and at night I receive advice from the muses, encouraged by a few sips of rum and a bit of walnut.

To Silvia (info@silviamenendez.com),

businesswoman, singer-songwriter and composer, originally from Valencia, Spain, who, with her accurate knowledge, advice and the successful development of the methodology and concept of 5D Magnetic Multimedia.

The 5D Magnetic concept is an exclusive development of Silvia, whose objectives are:

​

• Connect with the reader from the first moment, maintaining that connection throughout the reading experience.

• Turn the book into an experience, including unforgettable content.

• Imagine the book as a movie where there is not only a script, but also a soundtrack, actors, and settings. 

• Imagine the book as a movie where there is not only a script, but also a soundtrack, actors, and settings.

​

To a great guide, who with his methodology and change of mindset has helped many startups and entrepreneurs from various countries, José “Pepe” Sevilla, originally from CDMX, Mexico, who based on some of his proven Marketing concepts for “Micronichos”, has implemented the Marketing plan for this project.

A round of applause and recognition.

​

A special thank you to everyone who believed in this idea from the very beginning—an idea that later became a project and, finally, this book. Some of them are listed among the true believers who stood by this journey from the start.

Thank you. Thank you deeply. My endless gratitude.

Finally, to my two dogs: the Dalmatian “Chimina” and the Cocker Spaniel “Lucky” who kept me company during the long nights of inspiration and hard work.

With love and affection,

Joanne E. Moore
