Acknowledgements

To my writing bestie Carol Ann Albright Eastman, thank you SO FUCKING MUCH for all the pep chats and awesome advice you’ve given me.  Especially all the lessons on the correct way to write crap.  May we meet one day for real, although I am sure we’d definitely get arrested.  But, no worries, I happen to know a guy…

Thank you to all the talented writers that have touched my life in some way: Angelisa Stone, Deena Bright, and S. L. Jennings, you girls rock.  And a huge thank you to Triple M Book Club – a place to honestly share all the angst I have for the books I read, and the once in a while dirty talk, minus the elephant penis picture.  I’m still scarred from it.

The biggest thank you goes to my family.  To my mother Rita who has been my loudest cheerleader since the day I was born.  You made me feel like I could do anything in this world, and then let me.  Thank you for letting me - be me.

To my husband, Danny, the one I could keep up all night with my ideas and characters, thank you for all the support and encouragement.

To my daughters, Hailey Grace and Emily Marie, thank you for all your crazy, and for all your laughter and silliness.  I love you both so very much.

I could name a hundred different people who I want to thank, but this last acknowledgement is strictly for YOU, readers.  Thank you. Thank you for believing in me and reading my stories.  Thank you for contacting me, friending me, and supporting me.  I love you all!
