Waking Up
Page 41
I met some unbelievably amazing people on this journey who helped me, mentored me, I became friends with and I fangirled over.
Kathy from Panty dropping Book Blog I can never say thank you enough times to you!!!! We internet met and became instant friends. I trusted my book to you and I’m so glad I did. You loved it and made it your personal mission to make sure everyone else did too. Thank you for taking care of me, loving my story and believing in my characters. You are the Super Pimp! I can’t wait to see where this friendship takes us!
To the following blogs-Panty dropping Book Blog, A Book Whores Obsession, Mackable Book Babes, Abby’s Book Blog, A Risqué Affair Book Blog, and We Stole Your Book Boyfriend—thank you for being with me from the beginning. There are so many amazing blogs that have stepped up and helped along the way and I can never tell you all how grateful I am for your help. I would be nothing without the backing of all of you! An author is only as strong as the blogs supporting them and I’ve been fortunate to have unbelievable blogs supporting me! Thank you all!
Heidi McLaughlin-you my friend are fucking amazing! Not just your writing because that is beyond incredible, but in the way you handled me as well. You took an insecure newbie who was afraid of letting anyone see her work and made me feel confident in my writing abilities. You answered all my e-mails with patience and kindness and I know I sent a shit ton of them. I had so many questions. I will forever be a fan of yours (not just because you gave me Harrison, but yes because of him too. Gah—I love him!) You taught me how I want to be if I ever get to that level where a novice writer comes to me for help. I only hope I can be half the person you were to me. Thank you is not enough for the class you showed me and for your mentoring. Much love to you!
Kelly Elliott and Molly McAdams-I had planned to write a separate thank for you two, but I realized I started talking to you ladies at the same time, got introduced to your books around the same time, you both gave me the go ahead to reference your characters in my book around the same time and I found out you’re bestfriends. Just seems mean to split you up. So, I’m sending love and big hugs to both of you! I fell in love with the gang from Wanted and I still cry over Chase just talking about him. I knew the day I started thinking about Waking Up that I wanted Adri & Alahna to talk about these books. I never in a million years thought I’d get either of your permission to be able to do it. When you both did I danced, cheered and squeed for days. You ladies are amazing and I hope you’re proud of what I’ve done. There’s more to come in book two. Thank you for continuing to write great stories. I love you to the moon and back!
S.K. Hartley- thank you, thank you, thank you for designing the beautiful cover for my book. You brought my story to life with a picture and I LOVE it!!!! It is beyond gorgeous! You are talented my friend!!!! I look forward to designing many covers with you and reading more of your books! One of these days I’ll convince you to write me my own personal book boyfriend because you write some hot men! I’ll take a combination of Logan, Tate, Ace and Angel—thank you very much!
Kemmie Michaels and Ren Alexander, I will forever be grateful that I internet met you two. I didn’t know what author takeovers were before you two, but I’m glad I lost my virginity to you ladies in an awesome threesome of bouncing between two blogs that night. You ladies have been amazing and so supportive to me. Kemmie I’ll always keep IBC in my fridge in case you find yourself wanting to take a trip to NH and then we can compare our fuzzy socks. Ren, I’ll never be able to use sparklers without thinking of you.
There are people who come into your life that you don’t expect to meet, but you become instant friends and are grateful for. Maegan Abel I’m thankful everyday for that. Starting out as a new writer is terrifying. I’m beyond happy I had you walking down the road of the unknown with me be my side. And, I’m so proud of you that you hit the finish line. I am inZane over Perfectly Broken and see so much good happening for you. Thank you for all the words of comfort and online research and for being my first official #ProudTuckerSlut. I love our daily chats. So you know I’m totally holding you to that character swap you promised. When are you sending Zane to my house?!?!?!?!?!?!
Jessika-You and I were destined to be friends—my sister from another mister-hahahaha. Our mutual love for reading, fictional characters and Ryan Stevenson could only lead to us getting along… I owe you so many thanks for starting my street team for me. Tucker’s Sluts-RDST is the kinkiest, dirtiest, non filtered mouthed street team ever and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Tucker Sluts Unite! Love you Slut!!!
Michael Burhans-bet you thought I forgot you, huh? You by far are the coolest editor ever. I could listen to you tell stories all day. Thank you for using your mad skills to make my story the best it could be and for believing in what I wanted this story to be. I can’t wait for us to work on the next one. You totally rock!
And to my readers- THANK YOU!!!! I can’t say that enough times to get that message across. Without you, there is no me. I hope you love the characters as much as I loved writing them. This has been an unbelievable journey and I can’t wait to share the rest of Tucker and Adriana’s story with you. Thank you so much for all of your support. You are the best!
Watch for the conclusion to Adriana and Tucker's story in the second Healing Hearts Novel coming in the Summer Of 2014
