ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
They’re probably getting sick of me by now, but I literally could not function without Marisa Wesley from Cover Me Darling and Erin Servais of Dot and Dash, LLC. Thank you for your consistent help over the years to help make what I do easier, prettier, and the best it can possibly be for my readers. A special thank you to Crystal Shelley of Dot and Dash, LLC. This was our first time working together, and I’m hoping it won’t be our last. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but this retired editor appreciated your fresh perspective and my book is stronger because of it. Extra special thanks as well to Stephanie Anderson of Alt 19 Creative for helping me with formatting at the eleventh hour. I’m so happy to have met you and look forward to working together again soon!
I also want to thank Christopher John of CJC Photography. He’s one of my favorites ever, and somehow this is my first cover working with him. It definitely won’t be the last. I’d also like to thank cover models B.T. Urruela and Rachael Baltes. Likewise, this was my first cover with them, but as soon as I saw this smoking hot image, I knew I had to have it for Consumed by Love. The feelings this image stirred are actually what made me decide to have Brynn end up with Pierce instead of Noah. True story. It takes a team, and I had the best one for this cover!
An additional thank you goes to Kate Farlow of Y’all! That Graphic. This was my first time working with her, and I was blown away by all the sexiness she created for the entire Written in the Stars series. You’re the brightest star in the sky!
I also want to thank the eleven extraordinary women and authors in the Written in the Stars series. This started as a dream of mine back in late summer, early fall of 2019. When I first started approaching my friends with this “crazy idea I have” for a branded horoscope series, you know what they all said? “I’m on board! Count me in!” Slowly, our collective of writers grew until we filled each zodiac sign, and from there, the magic was born. It may not have always been the smoothest ride to wrangle a group of insanely talented and wildly creative women, but we all learned a lot about our strengths and weaknesses along the way. The end result was a lot of teamwork, a lot of give and take, and an amazing collection of novellas I am so proud of and amazed by. You ladies forever have my gratitude and a special place in my heart: Rebecca Gallo (Aquarius), Q.B. Tyler (Pisces), Karen Ferry (Aries), Erica Marselas (Taurus), Sienna Snow (Gemini), Kelsie Rae (Cancer), Harlow Layne (Leo), A.J. Alexander (Virgo), Jennifer Woodhull (Libra), Andi Jaxon (Sagittarius), and Hollis Wynn (Capricorn). I am floored by the creativity and heart you each poured into your stories, and I am so grateful for each of you.
I also want to thank every book blogger, bookstagrammer, friend, reader, fellow author, designer, and PR company who has helped spread the word about my books and this entire new series. I could not do what I do without each of you. You literally are my glue, my fuel, and my inspiration. I love you madly.
A special shout-out to Bare Naked Words for managing our book tour promotions and blogger ARCs for the Written in the Stars series, and A.J. Alexander for managing our reader group ARC team.
Thank you, too, for the friends I’ve made this year in the most unexpected ways. Each of you has a piece of my heart. To my tight inner circle—Deena, Erin, Heather, Jacque, Jen, and Sheila—I love you each as soul mates of my heart. Thank you for being there for me this year in all the hard times and all the good times and all the boring times in between that make life so beautiful and fun and messy and perfectly imperfect.
I also want to thank my children for being the most amazingly supportive, funny, sweet, driven, inspiring, creative, and curious little souls. If Daddy was written in the stars for me, then I believe so were you. My world would not be complete without you. You make every day worthwhile. Thank you for being patient with me over summer break, and during a pandemic no less, when I told you I had to write not only one book but two. Thank you for putting up with me when I growled about leaving me alone because I was writing. I love you to Mars and back, Lil’ G; and E, I love you to Pirate Island and back.
Derek… we’ve come a long way, baby. “If kisses were stars, I’d give you the sky.” The universe may be limitless, but it still can’t eclipse my love for you. It’s u+me forever. Ours is definitely the greatest love story ever written in the stars.
