Author Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I need to acknowledge the sacrifice and support of my husband and daughters. Thank you for encouraging me to live my dream and for continuing to tell the world about my work.

Appreciation goes to my TLC crew, both husbands and wives. If it weren’t for you guys helping with my kids in a multitude of ways, supporting my work, and making me laugh, there would be no books. I love you guys and treasure your special friendship. Don’t forget, what you find is what you find!

Special thanks to my friends and family who help with my kids, entertain me, share my work, and hold my hand when things get rough. I’m incredibly blessed to have y’all in my life, and not a day goes by that I don’t remember how lucky I am.

Donna Fiorentino, thank you for answering questions about your experience with breast cancer. Dawn Rogers, Connie King, Debra King, Leigh Anne Dearing, and Nina Smith, your strength is inspiring. Because of you, I will never miss a mammogram. To those near and dear to me who fought or continue to fight this horrible disease, it’s an honor and a privilege to be part of your life.

Extra thanks go to fellow authors Lexi Post and Kat Mizera. Your advice, assistance, and support are priceless.

Judy Swinson, as always my gratitude goes to you for providing the tissues during the struggles and Snoopy-dancing alongside me for the accomplishments.

Last, but never least, my Beta Babes, Alison Dye, April Klusman, Barb Teeter, Barbie Stokes Timpson, Gemma Blomquist, Judy Swinson, Kat Mizera, Lisa Qualls, Maria Robinette, Rachel Garcia, and Terri Kuebbeler. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy lives to read my stories and share your thoughts. You ladies are amazing!
