I’d like to thank everyone who had a hand in making this book happen.
That means you.
Yeah, you, there in the back.
I absolutely couldn’t have finished Going Wild without your help and support.
Also, Bethany Buck, my editor extraordinaire. Thank you for loving Frankie like I do and for watching my back along the way.
The ultra-talented folks at Pixel+Ink, who took my words and shaped them into the book you’re reading now. So much love to Sara DiSalvo, Michelle Montague, Terry Borzumato-Greenberg, Steve Scott, Whitney Fine, Raina Putter, Lisa Lee, Hannah Finne, Julia Gallagher, Miriam Miller, Alison Weiss, Mary Cash, and Derek Stordahl.
Reiko Davis, you’ve become more than just an agent to me. You’re my sounding board, my cheerleader, and most of all, my friend. Thank you for your confidence, advice, and kindness. You’re rad.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, a little bit Kayla. Thanks for lending me your ear, opinions, and name to the second installation of Frankie.
Natasha, I appreciate all the texts of encouragement and check-ins you sent while I was writing this book. Thank you for being willing to read version one of Going Wild. You’re an author’s dream reader. And a gal’s best friend.
Mom, I know that I’ve created a great book when you can’t wait to read the next chapter. I couldn’t ask for a better compliment or support system.
Dad, you’re not an infamous international thief, but you have taught me a thing or two over the years. Thanks for fueling my love of creativity and talking books with me.
Jacey, you are the basis for every cool character I’ve ever written.
Amy, you always challenge me to be better.
Andrea and Price, nobody has more fantastic in-laws than I do. Nobody. Well, except for maybe Katy.
Katy, your dedication, determination, and drive inspire me. You’re more than a SIL.
Ryan, your accomplishments keep me on my toes. Your support is boundless.
Finally, to the loves of my life:
Huck and Grey, I hope you race after life’s adventures like I race around after you. I’m always thinking of you when I’m writing.
Matty, you are my perfect other half. Thank you for pushing me to follow my dreams and for letting me run all my ideas by you…even when they turn out to be about pre-teen girls who kick butt and have sassy attitudes. You’re the best leading man in my book.
