Every Breath

I have to mention my fellow authors, of course, that have been such a motivation to me. My Sprinting Sisters pushed me to write when I didn’t want to. And there are numerous authors that helped keep me on track, provided comic relief when I needed it, and gave me valuable advice: Molly McAdams, Raine Miller, HB Heinzer, JB McGee, Melissa Brown (my partner in Tuscan crime), #TeresaMummert (she’ll understand the hashtag), Michelle Valentine & Jenn Foor (my fellow freeballers), the ladies at The Indie Voice, and there are so many more that I’m leaving out. I’d have to write a book with just their names. Thank you all! You know who you are!
Let me tell you, my betas are amazing. Thank you, Elle Wilson, Kathy Brosch, Julie Deaton, and Katie Mac! And the bloggers that pushed this book to the end of the earth and back . . . I’ll adore you forever, and I will never ever forget what you’ve done for me. Nicola Farrell and Denise Tung (A.K.A. my wifeys) with Flirty & Dirty Book Blog and Kim Person with Shh Mom’s Reading were the first bloggers to jump on the Destiny Ever-changing bandwagon with both feet, and they never looked back. There’s nothing these ladies won’t do for me, and I hope I can find a way to properly thank them someday. Thank you!
Thank you, Whitney Reynolds, Corey Campbell, and Corey McKown, for making my cover possible. You’re all hilarious and seriously amazing. I wish you all well! Tim Carr, thanks for the gorgeous pictures. Again!
Thank you, Stacie Fugate for your cover model management. You might have missed your calling. I appreciate your help and inspiration. You are the walking definition of strength, girl, and I love you to pieces! Rest in peace, Norm. I’ll never forget that big smile.
Angela McLaurin with Fictional Formats is a genius. She makes my books so gorgeous, and she’s also one of my biggest cheerleaders. Thanks, girl!
Part of this book definitely wouldn’t be possible without Jessica Manzano. Thanks so much for reaching out to me! Because of you, my story has beautiful music that will create a lasting impression on anyone that reads it. Your kind words about my story mean a lot to me.
Boyce Avenue . . . I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to use your lyrics to Every Breath and On My Way. Those songs have transformed my story into something people can really connect with. I’m a long-time fan, and I hope I create a few more for you. Best of luck in all you do, guys. I wish you great success. You are truly talented, and you deserve it! Thank you.
And finally, to my readers, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You took a chance on this new author, gave me excellent feedback, and pushed me to become a better writer. Many of you have become my close friends, and I hope to make many more.
Thank You All!
