Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly

I usually avoid these at all costs because I worry that I’ll inevitably forget to
mention someone. Yet, I feel like it’s time to say my thanks.
My husband always says I’m even worse at expressing emotions than him,
which if you knew him (I often refer to him as the iceman), would give you a
pretty good idea of just how bad I am at this. Maybe it’s because as authors we
spend more time in our heads than outside of it because sometimes, I say my
thanks so often in my head that I’m convinced I actually voiced them aloud.
Expressing deeper emotions is even harder for me, so I usually just don’t.
But there are many people who helped me tremendously, not just with this book
(that’s just a very small part of it), but with my career. Becoming a professional
writer can be a lonely endeavor. I love writing and communicating with fans.
Everything else, all the organizational effort that goes into being a writer, not so
much.
That I have any semblance of organization is thanks to my amazing assistant
Emily. She organizes everything for me. Without her I’d be completely lost. Her
job isn’t easy but she makes it seem that way, even if I forget things or confuse
things or disappear into my own head again. Thank you so much.
In 2019 I was lucky enough to meet another pillar of my writing temple, Kiki
from NextStep PR. You have the biggest heart and I’m so grateful for your
kindness. Meeting you in person and spending time with you and your husband
was very special. You help me focus and not lose sight of my goals. Thank you
for helping me with my career. You and your team (Thanks, Colleen & Kristina)
are amazing!
Marica, thank you for all your support. I can’t express how grateful I am for your
enthusiasm. Meeting you in Las Vegas was a highlight of my year. You are such
a wonderful woman and I can’t wait to see you again!
Kate, thank you for asking me to be part of Mystic Box, and thank you for
making my trip to California and Las Vegas such a special event.
A big thanks also goes to my lovely beta readers for Sweet Temptation: Sejla,
Selma and Ratula. You get my books when they’re still ugly little ducklings but
you always show me how to turn them into beautiful swans. Thank you so much!
