There is one reason why I do what I do for a living. The support of the amazing people who read my work and take the time to share that enthusiasm with me. If it wasn’t for you all, I wouldn’t have been so inspired, and the words wouldn’t have literally poured from the tips of my fingers onto the page to write this series.
So, firstly, I thank you. The reader. The person who makes the long nights, the self-doubt, and the occasional dummy-spit all worth it.
My husband and kids. My biggest cheerleaders. My greatest achievement. From my daughter stealing my swag to give to her friends at school to my son screenshotting my ranking and sending it to his friends to my beautiful man who pimps my stories everywhere he goes. I am a lucky woman to have your support. It makes this solitary career, a little less lonely.
Philena. Lady, I love you. You truly are the sister that I always wanted. I see everything you do for me and it warms my black heart to have such a gorgeous soul in my corner.
Tara. My pimp. My sounding board. The only person who’s allowed to laugh at my anal organisation and plans to take over the world. Thank you for everything you do for me.
The girls in my critique team. Philena, Jenna, Sarah, Natalie, Maria, Elaine, Tara, Kim, Bonnie, and my #junctionbuddy, Megan. Circumstances were more than trying with this book, yet not once did you ladies complain. You helped me see the funny side of it all. Threatened bodily harm on the trolls. And, propped me up when I was ready to give up. You are my rock stars. I look forward to the next books going a hell of a lot smoother.
To the many bloggers, reviewers, and readers who help spread the word, I say THANK YOU! I know I’m going to forget someone, so I apologise in advance. Bonnie Mancuso, Kaye Springett, Rose Holub, Melissa Gray, Shabby and Laura Lee, Maria, Ena and Amanda, Bex n Books, eBook Indulgence, Ramblings Beneath the Sheets, and so, so many more. You guys make the indie world go round. I am eternally grateful for your help xx
And, last but not least. The members of Kylie’s Kollective. You are my safe haven in the crazy world of social media. Your enthusiasm for my work means everything; however, the fact that you guys take time out of your day to hang with me means more than you’ll ever know. Honourable mention goes to Scott Ryan who never flinches at the content of our discussions. You’re a lone male in a sea of oestrogen, yet your participation never wavers. Thank you.
