BEING AN INDIE AUTHOR IS A HOUSE OF CARDS IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE PROPER SUPPORT, AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE FOR ME THIS YEAR.

Thank you to my alphas, betas, ARC, and street teams. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to focus on my writing and get as many books out for you as possible.

Merci to my family. Not everyone has a kiddo and spouse who put up with your crazy deadlines and needy creative stuff 24/7, even when it means a surprise therapy puppy. Also to my parents who have been supporting this dream in their own way since COVID shut my store down. I couldn’t do it without you, either. Even my asshole brother trades memes with me at all hours of the day to help me blow off steam. Thanks for being the favorite, buddy; it made me work harder.

Gracias to my amazing friends, both online and off. Whether I talk with you every day or every couple of weeks, allowing me to vent or making me laugh is everything when times get hard. Serenity, Melanie, Brit, and all the rest—I’d shank a bitch for you…right in the kidney, no questions asked.

Danke to my readers—the ones who make it possible to continue pursuing my dream of writing full time. Your support, your kind words, your reviews, and the fact that you keep showing up, no matter how tight my deadline is or how long I made this damn book… that is the stuff dreams are made of.
