To Natasha Preston who backs me up.
To Amy Harmon for her encouragement, positivity, support, and
courage to break the mold.
And to B.B. Reid for reading, sharing the ladies with me, and giving me
a Caliber tutorial at twelve-thirty in the morning. I’ll be nicer when you
start sharing your chocolate.
It’s validating to be recognized by your peers. Positivity is contagious,
so thank you to my fellow authors for spreading the love.
To every author and aspiring author—thank you for the stories you’ve
shared, many of which have made me a happy reader in search of a
wonderful escape and a better writer, trying to live up to your standards.
Write and create, and don’t ever stop. Your voice is important, and as long
as it comes from your heart, it is right and good.
