To my Stella, you inspired this story and you are the reason I started writing in the first place. I love you, baby girl.

To Carolyn, thank you for all your work! Thank you for putting up with my dashes and finding every place that needed commas. Thank you for making me figure out what I really meant to say. You have an incredible eye! I am so blessed by your skill.

To Sarah Hansen, at Okay Creations, thank you for your general and exceptional awesomeness. You have a way with covers that turns a pretty picture into extraordinary art. You take my concepts and make them gorgeous realities and I am so grateful for your talent!

To Candice, thank you for taking my roughest drafts and finding something good in them! Thank you for your opinion day and night. And thank you for talking me down off the ledge when I am freaking out like a crazy person.

To Diana, thank you for sharing my books with your family and friends and anyone you meet! Thank you for doing your share of editing and finding all my sinful homonyms. And thank you for including my family in your Zombie-Apocalypse escape plan.

To my Rebels!!! Girls, you are seriously the best team anyone could ask for. Your unending support and excitement for everything I do encourages me daily and gives me energy to keep up this crazy schedule!! I love and listen to your advice and I am blessed to know you all. You’re more than readers, more than a street team. You are friends. And more than my books, I’m grateful for this team so that I can call each of you one.

And to the readers, THANK YOU. This was a pipe dream to me, a someday-maybe-hopefully-thing, and you made it into my reality. Thank you for taking a chance on Stella and Seth and falling in love with them as hard as I did. But most of all, thank you for taking a chance on me. I could not do this without you!!!
