Thank you, Catherine Wallace, my awesome editor. You are awesome and so easy to work with. It really helps a busy writer out. I appreciate all you do for me and my books, I know they wouldn’t be the same without you. And thanks to the rest of the HarperTeen team and all you did—my cover, edits, marketing, and on and on.
I have some of the best friends ever. Friends who read my books and give me advice. Friends who cheer me on. Friends who get me out of the house and away from my computer when they know I need it. Those people in my life are: Stephanie Ryan, Candi Kennington, Rachel Whiting, Jenn Johansson, Renee Collins, Natalie Whipple, Michelle Argyle, Bree Despain, Elizabeth Minnick, Brittney Swift, Mandy Hillman, Jamie Lawrence, Emily Freeman, Misti Hamel, Claudia Wadsworth.
And last, but definitely not least, thanks to my family, who have always been there for me no matter what. It’s so fun to have a big family! It has helped me to write big authentic family relationships. So thank you: Chris DeWoody, Heather Garza, Jared DeWoody, Spencer DeWoody, Stephanie Ryan, Dave Garza, Rachel DeWoody, Zita Konik, Kevin Ryan, Vance West, Karen West, Eric West, Michelle West, Sharlynn West, Rachel Braithwaite, Brian Braithwaite, Angie Stettler, Jim Stettler, Emily Hill, Rick Hill and the twenty-five children and the [I lost track of the amount] children of children that exist between all these people. I love you all so much.
