Thanks so much to Reese Patton who read section after section of my work, sending brutally honest comments back so that I could ensure these characters endeared themselves to you as much as they had to me. And her insight on the foster care and social work systems was incredibly helpful.
Thanks to Jody Wallace of MeanKitty editing for her flexibility with my schedule. She as always provides great editing services, always going above and beyond and injecting humor into everything she does. I couldn’t put these books out without her.
Additional thanks to Lynn Mullan for turning Chasing Hope around in a very short period of time and pointing out inconsistencies that got by even Jody and I. I know I can count on her to find what my editor and I have glossed over after all the read-throughs.
Amanda Kelsey with Razzle Dazzle Designs designed my beautiful cover. She is forever patient as I continue to change my mind until we have just the right couple to represent Justin and Maddie.
I wouldn’t be where I am in my writing career without the wonderful ladies and gentlemen on Romance Divas. They are there to give me feedback, turn me around when I’m headed in the wrong direction, and celebrate successes with me. It’s my writing home on the internet. Many of those ladies have given hours out of their busy lives to respond to questions and share their knowledge with others.
