To my mom, thank you for being the support system that you have always been. You always listen to me, help me weigh my options, and offer unwavering and unconditional love. That's all I'm going to write because I'm in a coffee shop and I don't want to cry in front of strangers.
To Krysta, where to being? Both of my books would be a complete disaster without your help. I am, without a doubt, the luckiest writer because I know that I've got an editor and a best friend wrapped up all together. One might think the combination might be worrisome, but I love it. You make my books one thousand percent better. I couldn't ask for a better editor and I wouldn't want to. You're my favorite. I appreciate and admire the time, effort, and professionalism you put into everything I task you with. Maybe one day when I'm filthy rich, we can arrange some sort of payment for every comma you have to cross out.
To Michelle of Once Upon A Crush Book Blog, your support of both books has been unreal. I didn't really know what to expect in the Indie Author world, but I never would have imagined there would be people like you who seem to take such joy in helping others. I will always be grateful to you and everything you've done for the books. I look forward to continuing to share all my work with you and helping you, in any capacity, any way I can.
To my awesome Beta Readers!!! I love you all dearly. Truly, I do. Rhiannon, Heather and Holly – you guys are the best. I so appreciate you three reading the book in fragments and giving me the encouragement I needed to get it done and do it right. To the betas who read the book in it's whole form – you guys helped me more than I can really put into words. You can't imagine how nerve wracking it is to write something and then put it out into the world for judgment and criticism. Hearing how you all love the book gave me a little more confidence and made everything brighter. Thank you.
To the readers and fans of Ella and Porter and The Never Series, I have no words. Absolutely no word can sum up how I feel about all of you. Every time you write me a message on facebook, an email expressing your love for the books, or leave a review, it makes my day. I can honestly say that Never Far Away might not have even happened if it hadn't been for the readers. Your support means so much to me and you are the reason I get to do this wonderful job that I never dreamed I would be lucky enough to do. I will always, always, be a reader friendly author. I promise. I will always make time for you and continue to be friends with you because I consider you all to be friends of mine. I hope you'll make the journey with me to other books and other characters as I am looking forward to you all meeting the other people who are in my head all the time.
Finally, to Ella and Porter, is it weird for me to write a thank you to fictional characters? I don't really care. To Ella and Porter, the two of you have brought me on such a wild, crazy, and wonderful ride over the last nine months. Thank you, Ella, for being the first character strong enough to make me listen to you and sit down at a computer and write. Thank you, Porter, for not taking a backseat to Ella and making me, along with many other women, swoon over your words. I'm not sure I can top the two of you, but I'm going to try. I will always have a special place in my author heart for the two of you, and I am so glad that you found your HEA. I am so lucky that I will forever get to know how your story continues because I will always be thinking about you both, wondering what you're up to, how you're doing, and watching your lives unfold. Hopefully, I will get to write about you again, but if not, I feel content.
Thank you ~ Anie
