Tex, thanks for escorting me to the big city! There isn’t a person in the world I would rather see the world with. Here’s to many more vacations together (and not waiting fifteen years in between them). I’ve got a good one mapped out here (hint, hint)!
My family: Thank you for all your love and support, for watching the kids while I write or head to New York City! Without your help and encouragement, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Love you all!
To my Internet family—NAC! You are all the best, the most talented people I know! I love our group!! Once again, I’m going to reflect on my time at RWA15, because meeting so many of you was a dream come true (and I cannot wait to meet those of you I haven’t yet…RWA16?)! Thank you for everything, all the tweets, posts, and our chats about things that are pink! ;) You all make me smile and keep me sane! And I cannot forget my Pitch Wars pal, Annie Rains! I love getting your e-mails and chatting with you! Thank you for all your help with everything!
A big thank you to Ed Sheeran for writing songs that fueled my imagination with countless scenes. Your music is my muse.
My local Starbucks and barista friends who kept me well caffeinated so I could subsist on four hours of sleep and continue to write coherent scenes. I’m cheers-ing you with my usual—green tea in one hand and a flat white in the other.
My readers, the greatest part of being an author is having the opportunity to share my stories with you. I’m humbled by your love and support. Thank you for taking the time to read my stories, embrace my characters, and write such lovely reviews. I am so appreciative! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
All praise and thanks to my Savior, Jesus Christ.
