Fallon, this is our first editor/author dance together and I couldn’t be more thankful for you. I have learned so much from these edits and I look forward to our future together. Thank you.
Toski, wow. What do I say to the person that listened to my vision and brought it to life? I am so thankful for not only your talent but also your friendship. This book wouldn’t be complete without you so thank you. Thank you for bringing my book to life.
Sommer, just like Tosky this book wouldn’t have been born without your creative decisions. Everything you have done has been golden and I couldn’t thank you enough. I look forward to our future together and I thank you.
My main pimp, Jodi, you rock my world girl. I am so thankful to have you in my life. Thank you. And I love your flipping face!!!!
Beth, thank you for reading my book and bring the trailer to life. You are magical girl. Thank you.
My betas: Mary, Susie, Lisa, Althea, Jessica P, Jen Cola, and Julie P, thank you all for your time, your heart and your opinions. Let it be Me wouldn’t be what it is without y’all. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Sue Grimshaw, thank you for believing in me.
And last but sure as hell not least, my fans. Thank you. From the bottom of my big ole heart. Thank you for taking the chance on this. I know this book is so much different than what I usually write. My best friend, Bobbie, said that this is from my blue period and she is right. I wanted to send a message to women in this position to get the hell out. That they can do it. I know it is hard, I know it is scary but get help. Ask for someone to be your Tucker and get away from your abuser.
For more help please visit, http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org or go to a meeting in your town or the next town over. There is so many outlets, so many people that want to help.
I believe in you. Now believe in yourself and live your dreams.
Thank you.
