To all the independent writers out there that inspired me to take this chance, thank you. Thank you for going first so the rest of us could follow in your footsteps.
Anita B. Carroll at Race Point and Christine Borgford at Perfectly Publishable you are the best! Thank you both so much for working with a novice and fitting me into your schedule.
Thank you to the music that inspired me during this process. To all the artists, musicians and songwriters out there, you are awe-inspiring. How lucky you are to give people like me the ‘feels’ like you do. I hope you all know what a gift you truly have. I also hope everybody reading this remembers that good music is whatever is good to you. Whatever makes you feel something. Don’t ever let anybody make you feel bad for the kind of music you love. There are no guilty pleasures when it comes to music.
Thank you to all the readers for taking a chance on a first timer. It means more than you will ever know.
Finally, I would like to thank our armed forces and law enforcement. Thank you for your continuous sacrifice and dedication. Most don’t realize just how much of yourselves you give when you serve your country or local municipality. I also want to thank the families and loved ones of our armed forces and law enforcement. Thank you for all that you may sacrifice to support and love those that are risking their lives for ours.
