At this point in publishing, I think it’s safe to say I have the best team of creative people possible!
My talented critique partners, Brittany Wang and Jessi Elliott, always catch my blind spots and help me brainstorm ways to fix huge plot holes. There are certain story elements that I’m terrible at, and thankfully they always call me out on it and help me figure out how to make it the best it can be!
My trusted group of beta readers, Amelia Nichele, Athena Marie, Emma Woodham, Katherine Schober, Lia Anderson, and Mandi Lynn also provided a ton of insight into what could make this story better. As always, after I finished implementing their feedback, I wondered how I could’ve possibly thought the story was done before that!
My cover designer, Mandi Lynn at Stone Ridge Books, knocked it out of the park with this latest design—it’s my favorite one yet!
My patrons also need a special shout out for their financial support and faith in my work—you all make it possible for me to focus on writing and make me want to give it my all so I don’t let you down!
My wonderful mama always agrees to proofread. She’s the best!
My sweet husband supports my career choices and helps me navigate each new stage of the journey, including my newest life stage of trying to write and publish while taking care of a little one.
And to you, my reader—thank you for taking a chance on this story. I hope you enjoyed every moment. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! Thank you in advance for every thoughtful review, sharing with friends, posting about it online, and making this book a success through your excitement. I couldn’t do this without you!
