Acknowledgments
Thank you so much for purchasing my book, and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it (I had a total blast!)
When I first started out on my self-publishing journey I never imagined so much work goes into creating and publishing a book—believe it or not, the writing is actually the easiest part! It’s important to me that I produce the best possible book, to the highest standards, so that my readers have the most enjoyable reading experience. I hope I have delivered on that commitment, and I need to thank a bunch of people who helped make that happen.
Massive thanks to the very lovely Moriah Chavis for all her support and enthusiasm on this project. I would also like to thank my extended beta reading team for this series – Lola, Lillian, Deirdre, Sinead, Teresa, Jennifer, Nelia, Kim, Amanda, Danielle, Karla, Karen, and Candace. Your insights have helped this story to shine!
I feel incredibly lucky to have discovered such a wonderful editor in Kelly Hartigan. Kelly is the consummate professional, and she delivers every time, even when I’m messing up her schedules by asking for extensions! My work is presented in the best possible light because of her input, and I’m eternally grateful.
A big thank you goes out to Fiona Jayde of Fiona Jayde Media for the breath-stealing cover, branding, and graphics she created for this series. I absolutely love them! I especially appreciate how you squeezed this work in during your maternity leave and I hope I didn’t test your patience too much!
Tamara Cribley of The Deliberate Page has created some stunning interiors for this book, and it looks so beautiful in my hand. I hope this is the start of a great working relationship.
I need to thank my family and friends, and my dedicated Street and ARC Teams, for all their ongoing support. I also very much appreciate all the lovely bloggers and reviewers who take the time to read my books, write reviews, and help spread the love. You. Rock.
I’d like to give special mention to my author friends all around the world, especially the very lovely Georgia Le Carre, Emigh Cannaday, Elisa S. Amore, Tracey Alvarez, and all the amazing YA authors I’ve met through the AAYAA group. The Indie Author community is such a wonderful community to be a part of, and I have to pinch myself every day to realize this is my reality.
Big hugs and kisses to my other half, Trevor, and my two boys, Cian and Callum. They sacrifice a lot so I can live my dream and I never forget that. Love you all so much.
A massive THANK YOU to you dear reader. I would not be able to write full time if it wasn’t for all the readers who have embraced my work and who support me on this journey. I appreciate each and every one of you.
I love to hear from my readers so don’t hesitate to reach out to me – siobhan@siobhandavis.com
