Unfinished

by Shae Scott

  I have always wanted to write. The number one item on my bucket list was to write a book and send it out into the world. It feels really good to know that I have accomplished it. There are a lot of people who have helped me along the way and I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to them.

  Leslee for making me send you that first sample of writing and for pushing me forward every time I doubted myself. You are the other half of me. You are my person. Forever.

  Erin, who at twelve let me walk around aimlessly and tell her stories for hours. Now, so many years later you are still letting me tell you my stories and you are still sending me music to keep me inspired.

  My family, both by blood and by design, your support and encouragement are beyond measure. I am so lucky to be surrounded by you all.

  My beta readers who were the first strangers I let see the words: Lisa Greenwood, Anna Chokheli, Angie Luevano (who gave me my very first review with gifs!!), Ashley Melvin, and Amy Crull.

  To Ari at Cover it! Designs – I’m so thankful that I get to use one of your amazing covers! You are an exceptional talent.

  To Jay, Sam Shem and Debbie for welcoming me into a team of beautiful women that have changed my life in so many wonderful ways, I treasure our talks, the pushes to be better and the support that gives me confidence to jump.

  A special thank you to the wonderful Jay McLean—I cannot thank you enough for your support, your encouragement, your friendship and for sharing all of your wonderful words with me. You overwhelm me with your kindness and your honesty. I would slay dragons for you. You are more than my Hoover…You are my McLean.

  And finally to the man who loves me through my crazy. Travis, you are my heart and the forever I never thought I would be lucky enough to find. Thanks for enduring all things BOOKS! I owe you a long cruise in the ’64.
