No Trespassing

Aurora Rose Reynolds, my Crystal-boo, what would I have done without you? I struggled so badly with my blurb, and you dropped everything you were doing to help me with it. And to impress the master of Instalove with my story, hearing you didn't want it to end… you have no idea how encouraging that is. Every day, I reminded myself of the advice you gave me so long ago-just get down your words, every single day. Even if it's just a couple hundred, get words on paper. We are an unbreakable team. Love you!
Marcia, I couldn't have written this without your amazing and intriguing website, www.atlantisring.net. You made me believe in the magic and power of the Atlantean Ring. Thank you for my gorgeous ring. I've worn it every day since you sent it to me, and I have no doubt it's because of it I was able to write this book in 19 total writing days. My words came so clearly, so thank you for blessing it for me! I hope my readers are inspired enough to come to you to get their own!
Ricky and Calvin McWells, y’all make the perfect besties for Emmy. I fell in love with Ricky the first time I ever watched his Snapchat story about his husband making him mow the lawn. So hilarious, so real, and he just downright made me laugh my ass off. And then he started doing stories about the love of his life, Calvin, and their furbabies, and I ended up falling in love with them as well. You guys have no idea how much positivity and happiness you brought into my life just by opening up and letting us followers into yours. With so much negativity in the world, your sweet, funny, and loving personalities are a light in the darkness, and it’s exactly what introverted Emmy needed. It was just an added bonus that much later, after I’d already written these handsome fellas in my book, when I discovered Calvin has an armful of Egyptian tattoos! Seemed very much like fate was working her magic. So to the McWells guys, thank you so much for letting me include you in my novel.
Matthew Hosea, my Turd. You inspired so much of Dean's personality. Thank you for always taking time to answer my questions, when I'd come to you asking how a guy would react. You made me laugh so much, but then also blew me away with the care and charisma that came so naturally in your answers. (When I sent him Emmy's virginity horror story, Dean's answer was Matthew's verbatim: “What a fucking pussy.” LOL) Your replies were surprising, and I was able to twist that shock into a new aspect of Dean's point of view, making him a unique character I couldn't have come up with on my own. It makes me look even more forward to the book we're writing together! #nerdandturd
And finally, thank you Sierra and Vaida. Y'all can't even begin to understand how much your messages meant to me. Would anyone want to read a romance with such a nerdy theme? But thank goodness you girls let me know there are a lot of people out there like me who love a good adventure along with their love story! And Stacia, as always, the best beta girl around. You will always have a place on my team. I'm sorry for making you throw your Kindle… again.
