Acknowledgments

Many thanks go out to many people who have given me all the kinds of support I need to keep writing. To my family, especially my sons, for their patience when I’m on deadline or have a wild hair/stroke of inspiration. To my mom and dad and Aunt Joann, for taking the time to give me pep talks. To the Andersons, for being some of my first readers. To my school district family, you all are my heroes for growing the next generation of writers and readers. To my Omnific family— lizabeth and Colleen and Cindy and especially Jessica, and to my sister authors at Omnific—what a privilege it’s been to learn and work alongside such amazing talent. To wonderful readers and bloggers like Steph of Steph’s Sweet Reads, Michelle and Pepper of All Romance Reviews, and Midian S.—getting to know you has been an unanticipated and wonderful bonus I’d never imagined. To RWA and the fabulous authors I met in San Antonio, what a great group of people to be associated with—I learned so much. As always to my writing group—one of these days we’ll get that awesome screenplay written.

And especially to my husband, Marcus. Your unfailing support in every imaginable way is the reason I am a writer instead of a dreamer. You help me be a better person, and I love you.

About the Author

Beck Anderson loves to write about love and its power to heal and grow people past their many imperfections. She is a firm believer in the phrase “mistakes are for learning” and uses it frequently to guide her in her writing life and real life.

For Beck, the path to published novelist has taken lots of twists and turns, including a degree in anthropology, a stint as a ticket seller at a ski resort, a much-loved career as a high school English teacher, and a long tenure as a member of the best writing group ever, hands down.

Beck balances (clumsily at best) writing novels and screenplays, working full-time as an educator, mothering two pre-teen males, loving one post-forty husband, and making time to walk the foothills of Boise, Idaho, with Stefano DiMera Delfino Anderson, the suavest Chihuahua north of the border.
