acknowledgements

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

My second publication.

I’m still reeling.

Give me a moment.

Exhales

Okay, here we go.

I can’t start off my acknowledgements without thanking the readers first. Whether you found my books through social media, word of mouth, recommendations, or me reaching out to you, the time you’ve taken to read, review, share, and so much more, YOU ARE THE ONES WHO BRING THIS STORY TO LIFE. And with that, I can’t thank you enough.

Thank you to the ARC ARMY and LOVELIES, you ladies are incredible. I am in awe of all that you do. It’s amazing to a see a community of strong and passionate people from around the world sharing the same love for reading, come together by a single story. Though I’m still trying to figure out the whole social media thing, I see your messages, creations, and words, and it warms my heart of how accepting you are. And not just to me, but to each other. I literally could go on …

A never ending thanks to A

To K. Dosal McLendon. My Kassy. My life support. It’s crazy, really, how far we’ve come already. Endless thank you for everything. You knew how hard that epilogue was for me to write. You noticed a change in my writing almost immediately. Thank you for letting me cry it out, for reminding me why I started this story, for always being there, and understanding my vision. I love you!

A huge thank you to Ally Dublin with Wasted Life Books. Damn, woman. You are the mom of PA’s. Thank you for your constant reminders, keeping me on track and in line, and pushing me every single day. I think you’ve realized by now, I’m not like the rest of them. Thank you for accepting me with open arms.

Thank you to my Michelle (Mishie) Montes, Faith Flores, Lisa Bardonski, and Lym Cruz for your time and effort put into beta reading EWIG.

Mishie, my girl, your drive and passion for the story fuels me, and I couldn’t have asked anyone better to be on this team.



Lisa … (I’m laughing as I’m writing this) … thank you for your honest review of the first book. Bet you didn’t think I was going to reach out and ask you to be on my team after that, did you? Thank you for catching all the missing words that ran through my head and never made it to into the story. Because of you, no word has been lost.

Faith, thank you for being there since the begi

An endless thank you to my husband, Michael, my daughter, Grace, and my son, Christian. I hear you. I see you. I feel you. I may not be there one hundred of the time, but just know you three will always be my number one. Your continuous support and patience allows me to follow my dream. I love you!

Thank you to my sisters, Amanda, Danielle, and Kaylee. Damn, I love you guys.

Thank you, Amanda, my other half for being there for my every step of the way. For celebrating every single victory, though I know at times can be a

A huge thanks to Kaylee, the free-spirited one. While writing book two, you texted me one night and said how much I’ve inspired you to follow your dreams. The truth is, you’re my inspiration. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful this world is. I thank God every day for you.

Danielle, you will probably never read this, but I love you anyway. You support me in your own way and it will always be enough.

Thank you, Stephanie Anderson, for putting this book perfectly together as always. Every little detail is noticed and appreciated!

To all the amazing Authors, bloggers, bookstagrammers, readers, and anyone else who I’ve missed because I’m still on a high from no sleep and deadly amounts of caffeine, Thank you!

Oh-my-God, Mom!

Thank you, Mom, I love you!

I promise we will have breakfast … after one more story.
