My deepest gratitude goes to all my friends and family who have been there to give me virtual high fives or words of inspiration in person and on social media. Thank you for buying my books, reading them, reviewing them, and suggesting them to others.
Jose Teneza, you are such an awesome person and I loved molding my “Jay” after you. Thanks for letting me use the nickname “Cupcake” for my character. To Cat Howard, thanks for being the most awesome roommate a naive college freshman could ever have. I couldn’t help but steal your name for my bad ass character. I hope she does you proud. I borrowed the name “Huck” from Guinn Hughes who has three of the most handsome boys on the planet. Thank you to the following people for lending suggestions for names when I needed them: Tracey Carroll (Trace), Brittany Lindsey (Corrine), Anita Pesses (Anita), Jane Baker (Adele), Nadja Greso (Nadja), Kris Blais (Alana), Margaret Ann Sommerman (Lacy), Jackie Manzari (Jackie), Dana Manzari (Dana), Tiffany Hromada (Pateley), Erin Hromada (Ethan), Alicia Burns (Alicia), and Kristen de Marino (Denton).
An extra thanks goes to Vania Stoyanova for the amazing photography for the cover of Hooked, VLC Photo for the cover design, and Chandler Dollahite and Damien Michael Chase for being the perfect Cat and Huck. I’m totally in love with this cover!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The first thing Christine does when she's getting ready to read a book is to crack the spine in at least five places. She wholeheartedly believes there is no place as comfy as the pages of a well-worn book. She's addicted to buying books, reading books, and writing books. Books, books, books. She also has a weakness for adventure, inappropriate humor, and coke (the caffeine-laden bubbly kind). Christine is from Forest Hill, Maryland where she lives with her husband, three kids, and her library of ugly spine books.
