Acknowledgments
Boundless gratitude to my friends, family, readers, bloggers and fellow authors who have been so supportive of me and so kind in their willingness to read and spread the word.
To my editor, Jhanteigh Kupihea, it’s such a joy working with you. I love everything you bring to each one of these stories and I’m so grateful to have someone with me on this journey whom I respect so very much. Your commitment and drive and work ethic are appreciated beyond words.
Julie, Hadley, Rebecca, Amy, Toni, Carey, Jo, Kylie, Kim C, Katy, Kim J, Gretchen, Emmy, Kendall, Penny, thank you for the friendship, fun and support.
To my agent, Christina Hogrebe, thank you for always being the voice of reason that I so desperately need at times.
Shannon, for listening to my BS and then making me do squats and army-crawl push-ups while I talk your ear off, thank you.
Rebecca, Katie, Carla, Angie, Heather, and Noelle, thank you for all of the extra efforts in helping me chase down this dream.
Thank you to my mom and dad, Rich, Rachel, Donna and the rest of the gang.
To Sam and Tony, the most interesting people I know; thank you for challenging and teaching me new things every day.
And finally to Anthony who has never taken anything away from who I am. You’re always the inspiration.
