To my Nessica, Jessica Shapnaka: you wear so many hates! Friend, P.A., confidante, therapist…how are you so amazing at all of these things? You are invaluable to me. I hope you know that this means you’re stuck with me and all my crazy tendencies! I love you more than you could ever know—to the moon and back three times! Thank you for being willing to ride with me on this roller coaster, and having the best attitude possible through it all!
To my fabulous editor on all my self-published works, Jenn Wood: Working with you is even more awesome than ever, because you knew me before I even had a thought of writing a book. We go way back, and every single piece of advice you give me, every correction you suggest, every compliment you offer pushes me forward. Somehow I’m lucky enough to have you in my corner, and I’m forever grateful.
To my favorite sounding board and the girl who’s become one of my very best friends, Sybil Bartel: I don’t know how it happened, but you’re like the other half of my writing brain. You’re there at all hours of the day and night whether I need to get an idea out, or I’m completely out of them. I only hope I help you as much as you help me! Love you, girl.
To my author bestie, Kate L. Mary: you are the person I turn to at random moments when I need to vent, swoon, curse, or any other crazy notion hat glies through my head. We’ve been in this together pretty much from the beginning, and your wisdom means EVERYTHING. Your talent moves me beyond words, and I’m so lucky to have you in my world!
To the very best group of writers a girl could ever ask for, the NAC: Ara, Meredith, Kate, Bindu, Sophia, Laura, Missy, Jessica, Amanda, Jamie, Marie, and Marnee—you are my very best source of sanity. Without you, this business would have ended me long ago! Love y’all!
To blogger, publicist, and host extraordinaire, Tracy Comerford: Thank you for everything you do! You help spread the word about my books far and wide, and because of you I have an audience for these books I never would have found otherwise. Thank you for your never-ending support and patience.
To the Dolls—the best fan group a girl could ask for. Talking to you guys every day, sharing my fictional world with you, receiving your feedback, it all keeps me going! You all recharge me and refuel me when I need it, and your support and positivity makes this job so much more fun! Thank you all for being you!
To the bloggers who have supported me throughout this journey: There are too many of you to name, but you know who you are. You have read every single book, given me great reviews, and shared my work with as many people as you can. I couldn’t do any of this without your help and your enthusiasm. A thousand thank-you’s.
And last but never least, to the readers who find their way to Savannah, Georgia to meet Arden and Flash. You are the reason I do this. Love always. <3
