To all the readers and bloggers, for their support of Altered and Erased, and Anna and the boys! I write for the readers, and I love hearing from you all, because it makes working in the editing trenches so much easier.
To my family and friends, for their endless encouragement! You guys are amazing. To the grandparents, especially, for the hours and hours of babysitting!
To my husband, JV, my bestest friend in the whole entire world, I could not have written these books without you. You know how to cheer me up, you know how to make me laugh, and you know exactly how to make me feel special when I’m feeling anything but.
And last, and no less important, my chair, for being one comfy son of a bitch. My butt thanks you.
