Acknowledgments
It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a tribe to publish a book. There are so many people to thank and, as I write this, I am nine minutes away from my deadline. Please bear with me and forgive me if I forget to mention you.
First, I would like to thank Melissa Storm for being a wonderful #BossLady, mentor, and friend. Melissa Storm, you have taught me so much and I am forever grateful.
Next, I want to thank Angi Hegner (aka the most organized person I’ve ever met in my life) for everything. Literally everything. But mostly for holding my hand through the rough times, pushing me out of my comfort zone with baby steps, and being an endless source of encouragement.
Ines Johnson, I have really enjoyed getting to know you! I never would have dreamed that we’d have the working relationship or friendship we do today. You’re a talented author and a wonderful friend, and I look forward to meeting up again in the future!
I'd also like to give a shout out of gratitude to the other Gold Coast Series authors for the things they added to the series bible, their ceaseless encouragement, and so much more. And while I'm at it, to the other Sweet Promise Press authors. I'm honored to be counted among such a talented group of amazing people.
Anne Tjaden for the pep talks and listening ear and being a wonderful friend and holding me accountable and about a million other things.
And to USA Today Bestselling Author Margaret Locke, whose books inspired me to write in the romance genre, I appreciate all of your beautiful words, in books and out.
To my writing group, The Mountain Scribes, thanks for offering encouragement along the way.
I’d also like to give a shout-out to my beta readers, especially Lynne Brown, M.T. Decker, Alison Mee, and Kristen White.
Super-duper mucho thanks to J. McCoard, my wonderful editor. This book would not be possible without your unwavering encouragement, brilliant ideas, and never-ending enthusiasm for all things writing-related. Thanks for all the prodding, early mornings, late nights, etc.
Shawn White, my lifelong bestie and forever friend, you more than anyone has encouraged my creativity through the years, from trading ghost stories at sleepovers long past the time when we should have been sleeping to, most importantly, giving me Gingerbelle, the puppy who turned me into a dog person and saved my sanity. There aren't enough words or ways to say "Thank you."
Jimmy, Jarod, and Stephen, you are the pieces of my heart and I love you all so much, there aren’t enough words to explain it.
Cinnamon, my golden retriever, who shares enough of Gingerbelle’s traits that she makes the book A Dog’s Purpose seem more fact than fiction, and her equally lovable sisters, Gracie and Sookie.
To anyone else not listed here, and you know who you are, thank you so much for being part of this roller coaster of a journey.
And finally, thank you to my readers, especially the members of my reader group on Facebook. Thank you for reading my books and giving a purpose to the things I write.
