We’re truly soul sisters divided by oceans and continents! I can’t thank you enough for all your

support, pimpage, long and grueling hours working on book tours on my behalf, and overall book

love. Most of all, I thank you for your friendship, for your prayers, and for having a smile for me

when I needed it most. I pray God blesses you with the desires of your heart that you so richly

deserve.

Marilyn Medina
: You mean so much to me girlie and have so many places in my heart. You’re my

fellow Golden Girls goddess, my “twinsie and sista from another mista, my Latin lover, my eagle eye

editor and book lover and supporter. I can’t imagine writing a book if I didn’t have you to support me

and help to make it better. Thanks also for helping with all things Spanish for AJ. Thanks for always

having your eye for me—I know I can count on you to shank any haters!

JB McGee
: Thank you for being one of the kindest, sweetest, and most generous people I’ve been

blessed to get to know in the business. Your courage and your ability to smile in the good and bad

times are truly an inspiration to me. Thank you for all things design related and most of all for being

the most kickass formatter (including being willing to do it last minute!).

Yesi Cavazos:
Thank you so, so much for all your book love and support. I appreciate all your

help with Music. Thanks for making sure AJ and Abby were speaking Spanish in the right tenses and

using the right Spanish curse words!! LOL I love our marathon dinners together with JB and Michelle,

and I’m going to miss them so much!!

Lisa Kane
: Thank you so, so much for your willingness to be an early reader. The insight and

enthusiasm you brought to Music made it such a better book. I’m forever in your debt. Big hugs

always for the support of all my books.

Thank you lady for being a part of my life. I will always see our friendship as

divinely brought about! You’re a true inspiration. Thank you for always being there for me to provide

laughter, support, advice, and guidance. You are truly my Mama Raine!!

Heather Gunter
: Thanks to the most amazing margaritas, Mexican food, and tattoos partner in

crime! Thanks for giving me a shoulder to cry on as well as an ear to piss and moan in! Your support

has meant so much to me over the last few months. You’re a true soul sister! Love ya lots, girlie!!

Andrea Riley
: Thanks for your love and support, cuz! I appreciate the constant writing support and

encouragement all the way back to when you read that first draft of The Road to Damascus many

years ago. We were raised like sisters and have weathered the tough times together. I love you very,

very much.

Sara Wolf

You’ve been there encouraging me through the good times and the bad, and I’ll never forget you for it.

Thanks so much for lending your eye to early drafts of Music, for encouraging and lifting me up with

your enthusiasm

Paige & Enzo Silva
: What can I say to two of the most amazing, supportive, enthusiastic and

giving friends a gal could ever ask for? Most of all, I give thanks that you both have been a part of life

for all these years and have hung in there with me through the very, very dark times. Your love means

the world to me.
