To Kendra and Ursula for healing words & positive energy.
A special and heartfelt thanks to Kimberly Derting for believing in me and this book—sometimes more than I did. Her loyalty and friendship is priceless. (And, I’m so so glad she is NOT a big hairy guy who wears white skiffies.)
To my family, who has always been there for me:
Fiona for her encouragement and Jeff for not being afraid to tell me why my ideas would or would not work.
Gary and Michelle for always asking me WHEN, not IF, I was going to be published.
My dad for always pushing me and teaching me I could accomplish anything if I worked hard and never gave up.
My mom for being my friend and #1 fan. Thank you for reading my book(s) over and over again, yet always being excited as if it were the very first time.
To my sweet dog Bud (and Connor), I still miss having you at me feet; and to Charley, for picking up where Bud left off.
To the two best things I ever did in this world, Madelyn and Gray, thank you for the patience, unlimited giggles, hugs, and smiles. You gave me the inspiration and confidence to know I could create unbelievably special things.
To my wonderful hubby, best friend, and soulmate, Alistair, who has stood beside me every step of the way since I started this crazy rollercoaster ride. You’ve been the one person in this universe who believed in me more than I ever believed in myself. Thank you always encouraging me to keep writing—no matter how down and defeated I got. Am byth a thu hwnt!
And, most importantly, to all my beautiful readers, I am so grateful to you and hope my words touch your heart in some small way.
Last, but certainly not least, to the Big Cheese upstairs, even though it may not always seem so, I thank you for the ironic moments, universal signs, twists and turns, and helping me find the strength and faith to continue - when I needed it most.
