Acknowledgments
To my husband, Patrick, whose association with my crazy ass finally paid off last year. Look, honey, I’ve amounted to something! And my darling little girl who stands outside my bedroom door as I type in bed, saying, “Mommy, you workin’ in there?” It reminds me
why
I’m working. I love you.
To Heather Howland, who can never be thanked enough. Thank you for being invested in my characters and their futures. Oh, and
my
future! I appreciate everything you do.
To Liz Pelletier, thank you for your amazing notes on this book. They encouraged me to add something I
really
loved that enriched the characters and I hope readers will love it, too.
To Cari Quinn, for being an all-around awesome lady and author. You’ve become a friend and an encouraging presence in my life who constantly boosts me higher when I need it. Thank you!
To
Pamela Symes for translating a rather inappropriate ditty into French for me. And Jillian Stein (J-Sizzle), of ReadLoveBlog, for brokering that last-minute assistance (not to mention, being a superfly babe). Thank you!
To Bailey’s Babes, I love you guys! Thank for the daily encouragement and your excitement to read Matt’s story. Hope you love him as much as I do.
