In case you feel overlooked please know that you have not been. It takes a village to write and publish a book. An army of friends, blogs, readers, writers and every single person in between. They call it self publishing but they’re wrong. None of this would happen without you. No matter how big or small a part you may have played, it mattered more than you know.
I’m acknowledging people in alphabetical order again because it’s probably my best shot of not forgetting someone. Before all else though, I need to thank the readers. Without them this would be just another journal entry instead of a story someone cared enough to read.
TO MY READERS:
It is still a surreal thing to say. To know that you love my characters and their story humbles me so much. I will never be able to put into words what that means to me. You’ve left the writer . . . speechless. This book was a long time coming, I know it was. Thank you so much for sticking with me. For being patient, mostly, and for encouraging and talking about this series and convincing others to read it. My cup runneth over. Stick and Move!
ADDY:
I could say nothing or just do this whole thing in hashtags and you’d get it. You’d get it and laugh because you’re my easy friend. I love you and your feels. I cannot thank you enough for all that you do just by being the love to my filth and I will always make room in my boat for you. #ELC forever #Factasfuck #Yahtzee
