Thank you for reading Dolphin Girl I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. If so, I’d like to encourage you share it with a friend. This e-book is lending enabled to make it easy for you to do that.
Also, reviews are so important in helping others to choose which e-books to read. If you do write a review, please email me at sheldelisle@aol.com I’ll gift a copy of the next book in the series to you as a small token of thanks.
If you’d like to receive e-mails about future releases, please sign up here. I’m a little bit of a slacker—like Grace—so you’ll only hear from me a couple times a year, at most.

She Just Wants To Fly.
Ever decided to do something that seemed like a good idea and in the second before there’s no turning back think, I musta been totally mental when I came up with this? And, then, Oh, well, here goes.
That’s how Angel-in-Training Grace Lightbourne felt right before she asked the Big Kahuna to go straight to Earth on a mission as a Guardian Angel. The problem? She never was a great student and now she won’t even finish her last three years of school. To make matters worse, Archangel Michael isn’t happy about her special assignment, but Grace is convinced she’s on a fast track to her wings. Besides, hard can it be? She’s working with humans, after all.
Winging It! is the first book in the Angel-In-Training series, an irreverent and light-hearted take on Angels, Heaven and everything else that's divine.
Available at Amazon US and Amazon UK
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Huge thanks are owed to many people for helping me make this book a reality.
To my husband and children — Ken, Matt, Cam and Ryan — I owe you guys a lot for putting up with all the times I neglected my real job. Thank you.
To the rest of my large and supportive family: Mom, Dad, Shari, Gary, Muriel, Steph, Eric, Sandy, Brian, Josh, Zack, Sarah, Judy, Ev and Andy. Thank you for giving me ideas or just listening to me blab about writing and books for years and years.
For the two writer peeps who influenced my writing more than anyone else. Thanks to mentor/teacher/friend Joyce Sweeney, who always pushed, prodded or dragged me along a path to better writing. And special thanks to my writing sister Kerry O’Malley Cerra, who has been at my side for the entire journey, providing emotional support and giving advice on all kinds of important details from good restaurants to how to phrase everything to character names to which top looks cuter. She even tricked me into seeing these acknowledgments in advance. So I had to change them-ha! Thank you, Kerry and Joyce.
Thank you to two important early readers of the manuscript: Christina Diaz Gonzalez, who made excellent suggestions for adding depth to the characters and Sarah Davies for kind, thoughtful editorial guidance that focused and transformed the story.
Special thanks to my editor Rhonda Stapleton, my cover artist Matt Delisle, my fine-tooth comb proofreader Kristina Miranda and my e-book formatter Guido Henkel. I couldn’t ask for a better publication team!
Thank you to Dolphins Plus for a wonderful swim and to Tricadecathlonomania for the scavenger hunt inspiration.
I’m also very grateful for the writing community that has provided all kinds of support over the years. Thanks to Doran Cirrone and Alex Flinn who shaped the story (and my writing future!) at some of my first SCBWI conferences. Also thanks for my Wednesday group critique partners who influenced portions of the story as it evolved from week to week and year to year — Danielle Joseph, Adrienne Silver, Linda Rodriguez Bernfeld, Mindy Dolandis, Mindy Weiss, Flora Doone, Janeen Mason, Debbi Reed Fischer and Shari Winston. Thanks to all the Whatcha’ Reading Now? peeps who have shared so many busy, fun, hard-working times. The community we have built together is awesome.
There are many, many others who have advised me through the years. All of the comments — both good and bad — have shaped me. I’m very grateful for all the feedback.
And finally, thanks to my brilliant Panera posse: Kerry O’Malley Cerra, Jill MacKenzie, Meredith McCardle, and Kristina Miranda, who have helped me in so many ways during the last leg of this journey. I couldn’t have done this without your encouragement and support. Shine on, girls.
