by Love, Kristy
Thank you to my husband for putting up with me during this. For not complaining about late meals or unwashed laundry or times when I was completely lost inside my own head while you were talking to me. Thank you for pushing me to pursue my dream, even on the days when I wanted to give up. You’ve been amazing through it all and I can’t thank you enough. Your faith in me and the gentle (and not so gentle) shoves mean so much to me. You’ve been amazing. Also, thank you for being such an awesome beta reader, or the Alpha Beta Reader. You literally read this almost as many times as I have. You’ve read every rewrite and edit and incarnation there was of this book and thank you for your invaluable feedback.
To my girls: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve put up with a mom who forgot things and was often distracted. You’ve been great and thank you for supporting your mom while she chased her dream. I love you both so much! Both of you make me so proud every day.
Carol Power: Thank you. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but there are no words except thank you. Thank you for helping me unlock the words necessary to write. Just… thank you.
Jennifer Roberts-Hall… The words. There aren’t any. It’s been a crazy road for sure, but I’m so glad I had you by my side. You’ve been so helpful and amazing to work with. You aren’t just my editor, you’ve become a close and valued friend. Thank you for investing as much in my dream as I did. I appreciate every single thing you have done. I’m glad we found each other. You rock and I <3 you so much!
Sarah Hansen at Okay Creations: Thank you a million times! Your work, as always, is beautiful and you took one sentence and created an amazingly beautiful cover. You are so talented and I am so honored to say you’ve designed a cover for me. I loved working with you and look forward to working with you in the future.
Kassi Cooper at Kassi’s Kandids Formatting: You jumped in at the last minute and saved the day… literally. You have been so amazing. Between the formatting and the teaser pictures… I don’t know what I would have done without you. Not to mention the million and two questions you answered. Thank you so much!
Ena and Jennifer at Enticing Journey Book Promotions: Thank you so much! You’ve been so informative and kind… You made a process that can be very scary and overwhelming so much easier to deal with. You girls are amazing at what you do and it was a pleasure to work with you!
My team of betas… You all rock!
Jaime Shockman-Williams: Thank you! You helped so much in more ways than one. I really appreciate your feedback.
Tracy Dalton: Thank you for all the kind words. They helped me push forward.
Ashleigh Russell: You had some really awesome critiques and I really thank you for taking time to read and help me out. Thank you for showing interest beyond the beta read. It meant so much to me that you asked how the book was coming. You are so incredibly sweet. Thank you!
Lisa Siatkosky: You had some really good comments and I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read and give me feedback.
Gretchen Cooley: Thank you! Even though you read it right before the massive rewrite. I hope you still like it!
Deana Wolstenholme: Thank you for such amazing feedback. Thank you for reading it and helping to steer me in the right direction. And for always answering my questions when I needed clarification.
Melanie Cesa: Thank you for being such a helpful beta. Thank you for all the help you gave me outside of the beta read. You have been so kind and helpful!
Roxie Madar: My TBSS, my beta fairy, my unofficial-yet-somewhat-official assistant… You have been invaluable throughout this process. You came in late in the game and literally changed everything. Thank you for being honest and helping me write the best story I could. Thank you for keeping me motivated on the days when this seemed so overwhelming and scary and impossible. Thank you for believing in me and this story on the days when I wanted to delete every word. Thank you so much for everything you have done. Just… thank you. You are so much more than a beta reader… you’ve become an invaluable friend. I’m so glad you were with me during this process!
Blogs are invaluable to an indie author, especially one just staring out. I’m fortunate enough that I stumbled upon some great blogs with some amazing people behind them. Each and every blog that I have talked to or who showed an interest… thank you.
Jaime Shockman-Williams at Curious Kindle Reader: Girl, you rock. Between beta reading and promoting this book before it was even available… Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Jennifer Mirabelli (and all the Schmexy Girls) at Schmexy Book Blog: Thank you for taking a chance on me before you even read a word! You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
Stacia at Three Girls and a Book Obsession: You jumped in before you had even met me and I appreciate it so much. You helped so much. Thank you for every single thing you’ve done and for becoming a friend. I hope you find that next 5 star read soon!
Tracey Elizabeth at K & T Book Review: Thank you so much for being so kind and helpful before you even read a word I wrote. Thank you for posting teasers. It means so much!
Michelle Ochoa at We Life It Big Book Blog: Thank you so much! Thank you for promoting a book that you hadn’t even read yet! Thank you for posting teasers. You rock!
Christine Mateo at Sassy Sext Addiction Book Lovers: Thank you so much for posting teasers! Even before you read it! You have been so nice and helpful. Thank you!
Kassi Cooper at Knock Your Books Off Blog: You are amazing! Thank you for posting the teaser and getting my name out there! It means so much. Again, I love working with you!
Kiki Amit at Sassy Divas Book Blog: Thank you for introducing me into your circle of amazing women! I loved chatting with you and all of your support.
Kristine Marie and Dawn Nicole Costiera at Up all Night Book Blog: Girls, you are amazing. You pimp with the best of them. Thank you for promoting me and taking time to talk to me and including me.
Ellen Marie Smalls at PNR Book Lover Reviews: You are so sweet. Thank you for showing an interest in me and for reading my book and for taking a chance on me.
Jennifer Juers at Fallen for Books Blog: You are so sweet and supportive. I swear, you posted teasers everywhere you could and that means so much to me. Thank you for the awesome review!
Jaimee Derouen: Thank you so much for everything! You helped me navigate the crazy world of self publishing. It has been great not feeling so alone in such a crazy industry. Keep writing! I can’t wait to see what you come out with next!
To all the blogs that signed up for the blog tour and who read and reviewed: Thank you all! Without bloggers, indie authors would have a much harder time getting in touch with readers. You all work so hard and are so amazing! Thank you!
With how many people who have crossed my path during this crazy journey, I’m afraid that I forgotten to name someone who has helped me beyond measure. So to everyone who I have come across, THANK YOU. Please know that your support has not gone unnoticed and that I am extremely grateful.
And lastly, but certainly not least, to you, the reader. Thank you for taking time out of your busy reading schedule to read my book. It means so much that you chose to read my book, especially with how long TBR lists are and how many new books are released every day. It’s humbling. I hope you loved Will and Ry’s story as much as I loved writing it.
