Dedication

image

Although it’s going to be a long time (possibly never, and I’m okay with that) before he reads this, my nephew, K, helped inspire a number of things about this story, including Tia’s occupation.

So, while he isn’t going to read this any time soon (MAYBE EVER)... this book is in part dedicated to K.

You are one of the loves of my life, little man.

Every time I think of you, you make me smile.

And although I haven’t told her, bits and pieces of Tia’s character from some of her physical features to her outspokenness were inspired by my niece, A.

She probably WILL read this. Yikes.

You’re also one of the loves of my life, sweetheart.

Love and adore you. Keep writing and keep dreaming.
