These are all the songs I listened to while writing Borrowed. Each one has a meaning for different characters. Not all of the songs are in the book. I have listened to each one over and over. I love country music and the fact that Evan Martin is a country boy, these songs fit him perfectly. There are several songs that fit Evan and Lila and Evan and Tatum. You can listen to this playlist on Spotify.

My name is Delisa Lynn, I grew up in Columbus Ohio, I am currently residing in Western New York. I love music, all generations, I do have a soft spot for country and 80’s hair bands. My favorite season is fall, I love the weather that time of the year, watching the leaves change and most of all being able to watch football. Go Bucks!! I am also a 49ers fan and New York Yankees fan. My favorite color is pink, not baby pink hot pink. My mother in law thought I was joking when I asked her to add hot pink in my wedding dress. I’m married to my high school sweet heart, we have been together going on nineteen years, sometimes I can’t stand him but I wouldn’t trade him for the world. I love you Jay. Our baby is a five year old spoiled Yorki named Sophie and yes she thinks she is human.

I have always had a passion for reading and writing. I remember being around eight or nine years old reading my Mama’s romance magazines. Then once I got a little older I was reading full length novels by the time I was thirteen. I remember my freshman year in high school, I told my English teacher I wanted to be a writer he laughed when I said I wanted to write love stories. So Mr. Gatti look at me now. Of course it took me twenty plus years to get here. I have a very vivid imagination and have always felt I should express it in my writing. When I’m not writing you can find me snuggled with my hubby watching a movie, or cuddled in the corner of the couch with my fur baby reading.

I hope you all enjoy reading my books as much as I did writing them.

 

 

 

My Hubby
- Thank you so much, for always listening to my ideas. You have been my number one supporter since day one. I love you so much more for that! You understand how important my writing and my characters are too me. Thank you for always cleaning and cooking when you saw me with my face buried in my laptop. I know you work very hard to support us and I appreciate you very much. I couldn’t do this without you. You aren’t only the love of my life but you are my best friend.

 

Mom
- You are my number one fan. Thank you for pimping me out to your co-workers and friends. I know you aren’t a book person, but you listen to all my ideas and have always supported any of my decisions. I love you so much and hope that I make you proud.

 

To My Readers
- Thank you all for reading my books, I know some parts of my books are hard to read and at times you want to throat punch one of my characters. This series means a lot to me. There is so much love, drama and angst in each book. I hope that you continue to read the series, you will not want to miss what’s next. Thank you all for supporting me.

 

Amber Nation
- Girl, I’m so thankful for you. I love our daily chats, whether we talk about our books, our latest reads, or the weather I enjoy it. I love the fact that when I share my ideas with you, you always tell me if it sounds good or not. You have become a great friend. I’m looking forward to our signing road trips. We are going to have a blast.

 

Casey Bond
- You have been a wonderful friend. I appreciate all of your help and information that you have given me along this journey. Anytime I have a question you answer it. Thank you for being a beta for Borrowed and giving me your feedback and suggestions, it meant a lot to me. I hope to meet you in person someday. I will have to make a trip to WV then we can go to Stewarts together. Thank you for suggesting I use Anna as my editor!!

My Editor Anna Gorman Coy at AGC Editing Services
- First I would like to say you are an amazing editor, I’m honored to work with you. You took Borrowed on at the last minute and helped me make it what it needed to be. What started as a small novella turned into novel length! I knew the potential was there, but I didn’t see it until you brought it to my attention. Knowing that Evan and Tatum’s story touched you just as much as it did me, made my heart smile. You know not everyone is an Evan fan after reading Embracing Love but you are. I love working with you and look forward to working on the next books with you. You have helped me make Borrowed what I wanted it to be. Thank you for everything!!
