To my editor, Julia Goda, and formatter, CP Smith - I'm so glad I met you both! I had a lot of fun sharing this project with each of you. Thank you so much for everything you did to help make this my best book to date!
Melanie Harlow - Thank you for answering this fellow Michigan girl's plea for help. Without hesitation, you offered to promote my cover reveal and kicked off my release party. Having you share this moment with me was a dream come true.
To Terra Kelly, Christine Tovey, and Claudia Burgoa - You three make me laugh on a daily basis. What would I do without Christine's wake up post? The Gospel According to Skye? Or the support I get from each of you? I don't know. But I definitely know I DON'T want to find out! Love you girls so much!!
To all of my amazing ladies in the VIP Room - You ROCK! Thank you for all of the pimping and support you show me and my books!
Sandy Young - My beautiful sister and confidant. I can't thank you enough for listening to me ramble about my characters. Just knowing you are always there for me makes me very happy. I love you very much!
John Grover - Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my questions about college hockey. You're an amazing player and it was a pleasure to work with you.
My YpsiChicks: Shawn Miracle, Theresa Likert, Tracy Bashaw, Lisa Helton, Cathy Griggs, and Jana Creps. Girls, what would I do without you! I think it's time we meet up again!

The Way Back To Me
Available on Amazon
She used to be perky, fun, and full of life—everything I hated about girls and their bullshit exterior. People called her bubbly; I called her "fake-as-hell."
The edgy, dark, lonely girl in front of me was not the Olivia Brennan I knew from high school—far from it, actually. I knew the story—the whole town knew the story, we witnessed it all. It happened in the blink of an eye and the girl we knew was gone.
But I refuse to watch it anymore—I can't stand it. I'm going to fix it—fix her. It's time I showed Olivia her way back...Back to the girl she used to be.
