There are three other people in our household who show patience and love daily—my children. It’s hard to have a mom who works in the home. It takes a lot of understanding and respect, and my children have become pros. Thank you, babies.
Thank you to two readers who have become like sisters—Deanna and Selena. You were the first to travel more than an hour to one of my early signings, and it was before anyone knew who I was! I’m so glad that we’ve become so close, and I cherish our friendship. I love you both.
Danielle, Jessica, and Kelli—Your support has been invaluable. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. Not only do you rally the troops on your own time, but you also expect nothing in return. I cherish our friendship as much as I appreciate your dedication.
MacPack! You all, every single one of you, rock my socks. I am in awe of how devoted you are to the cause, and I am eternally grateful. You’ll never know just how many times you brighten my day.
Megan Davis—You’ve never let me down. You are always available, always around to lend an ear or to help in any way you can. You are an amazing friend. The Vegas signing simply would not have been possible without you, and I will never forget your kindness. Thank you.
Teresa Mummert—My sanity thanks you. I don’t think there is another person who makes me laugh or look forward to a phone conversation like you do. I consider you to be one of my very best friends, and I’m so grateful you put up with me.
