To The Real Moretti Minions. I can’t sum up what you mean to me in a million pages, let alone a few sentences. Our bond is everything to me. Thank you will never be enough.
Thank you to Ashley and T A McKay for reading early and loving Max so much. I loved sharing the pages with you before the rest of the world could meet him. I appreciate the advice, I thrived on the excitement and I am honored that you are a part of my world.
To Judi Perkins, t. h. snyder and P Taylor Bryan. You have seen me through my darkest days and given me a reason to smile and hang on. Trying to figure out what to write to you has me in tears. I would NOT survive in this world without you three. Thank you for the hours of laughter, tears and everything in between.
To Eric Battershell, Dawne Walters, Preston Tate and Derrick Meachum. My family. You are the pieces of me that were missing. Out of the darkness came your light. I am the person I am today because you each made me whole again. I love you more than words.
To Mom because I always wanted to be you when I grew up. There is no woman on earth like you and I thank God you’re mine.
To Preston Tate for inspiring the epilogue. I will forever cherish my little, pink, plastic heart ring from the gumball machine. I’m so glad we went to Jolly Pirate Donuts that night because it is one of my favorite memories of us.
To The Liquid Regret Groupies. We may be new but we kick some major ass. Thanks for your pimping and your advice and your love.
And last but NEVER least….To YOU. My readers. What an amazing journey we’ve been on together. Thank you will never be enough for all the joy you have added to my life. You allow me to do what I absolutely love and I couldn’t do it without you. You put up with my craziness and my obsession with Supernatural and all things cat related. You laugh with me at signings and cry with me when life gets hard. You stand by me and that is a gift that is far greater than any other. Thank you for allowing me a place in your life.
