So thank you, thank you, thank you, readers. I couldn’t do this without you.
Special thanks also goes to my amazing assistant Lisa Reeves. She’s been my cheerleader from day one, and her loyalty and support is truly rare and special.
My author friends offer smart advice, inspiring motivation, and boundless empathy (and sometimes they just tell me to have a drink and get over it). Diana, Stephanie, Delancey, Clare, JC, Meghan, Adrian, Brenna, KK, Jim, and Eve—you make this lonely writing thing fun.
So I lift my glass to the best friends and readers (who are often one and the same) that anyone could ask for. Sending you all love. xoxo

Heidi Joy’s first career as a journalist took her behind the scenes with politicians, rock stars, chefs, and detectives. Backstage, she learned that sometimes a wardrobe malfunction is exactly what the rock star intends.
Heidi Joy is currently working on her ninth book from her home near Portland, Oregon, and she adores hearing from readers at [email protected].
