To the critiquing group of Awesomeness: Babes and Badasses A.K.A Lola Stark, Rachel Brookes and Simone Nicole. Thank you for your friendship, the laughs, the sprints, the man candy, and the late night chats when we should have been sprinting. I LOVE YOUR FACES! Lolie, a year ago I knew very little of you. Today I consider you one of my closest friends, and I love that we have the kind of friendship where pants are optional! ;)
Beautiful Chelle Bliss, thank you for your friendship and giving me the dose of McLovin’ with your beta read that I needed to continue with this novel, when all I really wanted to do was give up. Love you, whoreface!
To David Michael (hubby #2) thanks for the friendship, for being my editing buddy, for the late night messages and the hair. Oh the hair!
Special thanks to Lesley Edwards, Elyse Schramm and lovely author Julie Grasso for sitting through all of my tedious medical questions! Any mistakes in this area, are my own and not the work of these three ladies. It takes an incredible person to do the work you’ve done and to have seen the things you ladies have seen, and you probably don’t hear this enough so: THANK YOU!
To the authors who I’m fortunate enough to call friends, and who inspire me every day: Annie Walls, Dawn Robertson, Kirsty Dallas, Emma Silver, T.J Hamilton, T. Gephart, Sarah Ashley Jones (Twinsie!) Megan Keith, Jennifer Ryder and Ker Dukey. You ladies rock my face off!
To my Sugar Junkies: there are too many of you wonderful girls to thank everyone personally—I did say I’d try and keep this short—so I hope you’ll all forgive a blanket thanks. Thank you to everyone in that super special group of sugary sweetness. The outpouring of love I feel each day from you girls makes me all melty. I can’t believe what an amazing little community our group has become. I love that you not only support me, but you’re always there to help and encourage each other, and that’s what our little bookish community should be about. I have the greatest street team on the planet and I’m so thankful to each and every one of you for making it that way! Super special thanks to the girls who keep that ship sailing: Captin’ Ali Hymer, First Mate Lori Parker and Quartermaster Melanie Lowery. It wouldn’t be half the team it is without you ladies!
To the bloggers, who do so much for us authors, whether it’s pouring your heart out in a review, posting cover reveals, signing up for blog tours, or just generally spreading the word of a great book, thank you! A good deal of us (myself included) wouldn’t be able to do what we love if it weren’t for you.
And finally to the readers: thank you for loving this crazy little fictional Aussie town (and its residents) as much as I do!
Carmen Jenner is a thirty-something author, doctor, pilot and CIA agent.
She's also a compulsive, flagrant prevaricator who gets to make things up for a living.
While Sugartown may not technically exist, Carmen grew up in a small Australian town just like it, and just like her characters, she always longed for something more. They didn't have an Elijah Cade, though. If they did, you can be sure she would have never left.
