To my editor, Paige Smith, who’s never let me down. Thank you for always making time for me and thank you for making it look like I know what I’m doing in the process. People can say what they want about my books, but they’ll never say they aren’t beautifully edited.
To my editor, Ellie McLove, thank you for always squeezing me in. Thank you for always including me in everything and thank you for being my friend. I’m still waiting for you to get that tattoo.
Dana, the cover you designed gave me the foundation I needed to jump from and finish this book. Jan, your teasers gave me life!! And our chats on Instagram made receiving a blood transfusion a little easier, even if you didn’t know it. And Candy, who took me on without question. Thank you for helping me push this book on the poor, unsuspecting readers.
Mary’s Little Lambs, who didn’t abandon me when I went radio silent for a year. Your dedication is admirable. Thank you for being my people.
And last, but certainly not least, to my husband and children. Thank you for supporting my dreams. I love our life, and I love you.
