Though writing a book involves the author spending many hours alone with their computer, the finished product is the result of multiple people giving their time, dedication, and expertise to ensure the book is the best it can be when it reaches the reader’s hands. As such, I have a cast of characters in my life to thank.
William and Baby Black – No matter how stressed, manic, sad, happy, or teary I get, you’re there for every moment. Whether we’re sharing the best of times…or not, I can count on you to hold my hand and give me a safe place in the world.
Rachel Connolly and Shannon Hunt – Thanks for being such integral parts of Team Black! You’re great cheerleaders, organizers, and beta readers. But you’re also amazing friends. Not much gets done without you two, so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you both. Oodles and bunches of hugs!
The amazing people at Waterhouse Press – Meredith, thanks so much for inviting me into this project. You said to write something fun, and I had a blast with this book! I can’t wait to do it again. Scott, Robyn, and Shayla, you’ve all done your best to present this book to readers in its best possible form and you’ve been joys to work with. Thanks so much!
To my loyal readers – Many of you have been with me for years, some for decades. You’ve followed me from one series to the next and always supported me in whatever creative endeavor struck my fancy next. I appreciate you all for being the most awesome readers and some of the coolest chicks I’m happy to know.
