“An individual is but a silent spark when they must stand alone, but when others stand beside them, that simple spark becomes a vigorous flame.” ~ Deanna Lee
The opportunity to do what I love, every single day, is a blessing I do not take for granted. But it wouldn’t be possible without the help of these amazing people. I can never thank them enough, but I’ll never stop trying.
Thank you to my amazing family: Mom, Steve, Jessica, Ryan, Grammy, Lexi, Teresa, Aunt Terri, Uncle Paul, Aunt Kim & Uncle Kevin, Debbie & Tom, and everyone else who supports this endeavor of mine.
Alisia and Carl—thank you for having such an inspiring love story!!!
Nichole Chase—I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again: you rock my socks off. Daily. Thank you, my friend, for always being there, for reading all my books even at their ugly stage, and giving me countless hours of advice and support.
My amazing Beta readers: Courtney Cole, Heather Self, Michelle Muto, Dolorianne Morris, Amanda Crick and Sarah Geiger. I am blessed and honored to count you as friends. Thank you!!
Special thanks to Joelle Edouard-Seltzer and Juliya Bykova for helping with all the French and Russian translations in the books. I am so grateful for your help on this book!
My amazing publicist, KP Simmon. Every time I talk to you, you amaze me more. I’m so happy I found you. Be prepared for a tackle hug at Utop. Be Prepared!
My brilliant team of people who do amazing things I couldn’t even try: Tawdra Kandle, my editor; Kristina Circelli, my editor/proofreader; Elizabeth Sharp, my cover designer; and Julie Titus, my formatter. Thank you for polishing my book and helping it shine! Your talent amazes me and I am thankful for all your hard work!!
My Street Team: you all are amazing! Thanks soo much for everything you do.
And finally, a big, sloppy, wet-kiss thank you to all my readers. I can’t do this without you, and if I could thank you all personally by name, I would. I am so grateful that you buy my books, recommend them to your friends, and write reviews for them so others can enjoy them too. I love you all to pieces! MUAH!
