“I love you.”
“I love you too. So very much,” I said.
“Good I’m glad.”
“Hmmm…” I said contentedly. “Now what?”
“Well, now it looks like we have a wedding to plan.”
“Yes, looks like.”
The End
Be on the lookout for Turner’s book,
Slider
, releasing in early summer 2014.
To my family. You know my usual spiel by now. I love you all, and thank you for putting up with my usual crap!
To my editor Jenny, who dealt with my whining and extended deadlines, I think I scored big with you. You proved to me that you know your stuff, and this book is best I’ve ever written, and I definitely think that’s because of you. Thank you for helping me bring this book to the next level. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Shawn, you waltzed into my life like a tornado and blew me away with everything that is
you
. You helped make this book what it is, and I hope I did you proud. It still blows my mind that I found someone that fit the character I’d thought up in my head before I even knew who you were. You shaped and molded Camden for me as I went. Thank you for being so incredible, for giving me up-lifting words when I wanted to quit, for being a support that I never expected from a cover model. You were a huge surprise and one that I hope I have in my life for years to come. You’re special Mr.! I love you to pieces!
Bayli, gah…there aren’t words for what you mean to me. Your friendship is so important to me as I’ve travelled through the indie world, and outside of it. You critiqued this book and helped me remember to stay on point when I’d start to stray. I love that you loved my characters as much as I did. Best friends, critique partners, and table partners for life.
To my beta readers…you know, all 6 of you. Thank you for taking time away from your families and reading as I went along. Some of you got Bender in chapters, some of you got the book when it was done. I appreciate every single one of your kind words and pointing out things that I couldn’t see when writing. Beta readers are the back bones of my books, and I adore every single one of you.
To Golden, you mad genius you. I love the way we work together. All 3 times we have come together, you’ve taken my ideas and ran with them. I appreciate that you have let me come into your space and make little adjustments with the models as something new hit me. Your brilliance has given me some of the best photos that I, as an author, could ask for. You’re the very best in this business, and I can't wait to see what else we can come up with together.
To Kassi, you ma’am are the mastermind of my teasers. What an incredible person you are to have in my corner. Not only do you deal with my demands of being creative for me, you also format my books, created a cover for me for my other novels, and I tortured you with looking at my photos of my models. lol *winkie face* Seriously though, I’m so happy that I finally got to meet you, and you are just as sweet in person as you have been to me online. Here’s to more work together.
To the bloggers & readers that gave Bender a chance and helped me advertise it. THANK YOU! I am one person and I can only reach so far. Without your help, Bender might only end up in the hands of like…10 people. Lol. Your continued support is always appreciated.
