Acknowledgments
Ahhh! We’re here again! 2015 and 2016 have been so difficult for me in terms of writing, and life in general. Some days I didn’t think this book would ever be finished. So, for everyone who made it possible:
Stephen, AJ, Jake: Bless you. You put up with my crazy, the conversations I have in my head (and sometimes out loud) with fictional people, the lack of laundry getting washed, dishes being done, dinners made, and time missed. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without your understanding and support. I love you all, to the moon and back.
Melanie: I sort of thanked you already in the dedication, but you only get so much space there. Seriously, you keep me sane(ish?). I don’t know what I would do without you, and I’m glad I never have to find out. You get me in a way no one else ever has and you have this uncanny ability to know exactly what I need to hear to keep me from jumping off that ledge I’m constantly hanging onto by my fingernails. You’re my voice of reason and my brutally honest critique partner. My plot lines are better because I have you to talk them through with. I love you more than Bennett & Max, more than Sean & Peter, more than TM—well, you get the picture :)
Stefanie: You do an amazing job keeping me on task and making sure the business side of my life runs smoothly. I don’t envy you that job at all. I know I’m a spazzy mess 99.9% of the time. Thank you for putting up with my crazy, my mostly absent mind, and most of all for being my friend.
Jen, Debi, Crystal and Andrea: #CastawayCar4Life. I would get lost in a car with you in the middle of NYC (or anywhere else) on any day of the week. For reals. You make me laugh till I cry (the British chocolate doesn’t hurt either lol). Until the next adventure!
P: Where do I even start? You’ve quickly become one of my favorite people to talk to, and I have so much fun when I’m with you. Thank you for the conversations, calming my neurotic self, Tumblr GIF’s, and well, you know what else. You’ve done wonders for my self-confidence, and you make me feel things I’d forgotten I needed to.
Annie: I love and adore you in so many ways. You took a chance on me and read Save Me From Myself, and even though you’ve claimed David for life, you’ve fallen for each of my other characters as well. We’ll always have Boston — and the Cape (even if I got next to no writing done that week because I was too busy having fun!) I’ll be here anytime you want to yell at me for what I’ve done to characters, or to read the reviews you’re writing, even when they add to my never-ending TBR list. PS - I can’t wait to spoil Alyx!
The bloggers: Thank you! Thank you for posting about a cover reveal, putting up a review, pimping a release, etc. You guys are all so supportive, and I don’t know how I’d manage without everything you all do. The amount of work you do to help authors is so appreciated.
The readers: From the very bottom of my heart—Thank you for picking up even just one of my books. Words can’t even begin to express how much I appreciate each and every one of you. It amazes me on a daily basis that people want to read the words I write, and it’s because of you all that any of this is possible. All my love <3
