Happy holly merry days. Thanks for going along on this ride with me. Hopefully, you snuggled up with a warm cup of something cheery and whizzed through Riley and Chase’s story. That you chose my book in which to spend your time is my honor.
This time of year when the season officially changes and we make memories with family is my favorite. Thank you to my husband, Daniel Heintzelman, who has allowed me to leap because he’s my net, supporting me.
Shout-outs, hoots, and hollers to my writing family, my IG family, the librarians, bookstagrammers, bloggers, and reviewers. Thank you for enjoying and sharing my story.
To my editors, Danielle and Danylle, I’m indebted to your polishing skills.
Big hugs and smoochie kisses to my family and friends. You are the petals on my flowering tree and the frame holding up my house. You understand and support me even though I’m always with my nose stuck in a book or with my fingers glued to a keyboard spinning tales.
As always, Mommy and Daddy, I love that I’m equally introverted bookworm and (semi-)social butterfly. Thank you for always cheering me on.
My sister, Melissa DeGrazia, let’s keep leaping in faith together!
Finally, to my two daughters and my nieces and nephews, I hope my daring pursuit of greatness is inspiration and wind beneath your wings.
