A huge thank you Shannon Boltin, my wonderful PA, Caroline, Sarah, Nese and Alison who tirelessly promote and pimp me to all and sundry and to my new girls Charlotte Day and Rowan Parker, I know Facebook doesn’t make it easy.I am and will be forever in your debt because I literally would not be visible in the ocean of Indie authors if it wasn’t for you ladies.
Joan Woods, glad your back and as always I am very grateful for all you’ve done. My other Beta readers, Jane Kennedy, Sarah Tandy ( you get another mention here :) ), and Katie Fezer-Sedan thank you so much for your invaluable input and making Bone a tighter…more robust story, (no-one wants a floppy Bone).
Saya my wonderful editor, and Maggie Truelove and Jane (again)…words fail me…I am so grateful for your grammar ocd…I can’t even. Stacey at Champagne formats I just hope I got this clean before it came to you…I can’t count how many time my work needs …just a tweak ;) and Judi at CLP for my glorious cover…You ladies are the foundation.
Extra help came this time from Johanna my doctor friend, the legal FB group for authors and Anthony Nolan Trust for helping with the donor questions.

A special thank you to Ellie McLove from LoveNBooks -LoveNVega and Angie from Shameless Book Con for taking a chance on a newbie with zero connections and inviting me to sign at these two amazing events…literally can’t wait!!!!
Other authors…because this is a community in every sense and I have drawn inspiration and guidance from many many talented people but here’s a few and in no particular order…Jana Aston, T.M Frazier, Pam Godwin, Alice Raine, always Jodi Ellen Malpas, M Never, Stylo Fantome, JL Perry, Kitty French, Donna Alam, LP Lovell, Stevie Cole, Leslie Jones, Skye Warren, CJ Roberts, Audrey Carlan, Aleatha Romig, Jana Aston, and JA Huss…Don’t get me wrong most of these people wouldn’t know me if I sat on their face but they have affected me in a positive way and for that I am thankful.
I would also like to thank my bestie..Kymme because in all honestly there would be no books if it wasn’t for her, for all the swag making for the signings…I’m gonna take you to Vegas if I ever get asked lol… I love you to the moon and back.
My family…my husband who has literally been my rock and better half of me for so long I know I take for granted but couldn’t and hope I never have to…live without. My children who make me proud and laugh everyday. I have the best family….period.
But mostly, I’d like to thank you, for choosing to buy my book and taking the time to read it—a huge, I mean really huge, thank you, you will never know how incredibly grateful and honoured I am that you have and I would be even more so if you are kind enough to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads.Please…please…oh and please :)
