The Swamp Bitches: Michelle, Stracey, Misty, Heather, Meagan, Cattagan, Crystal- I can’t even begin to tell you guys how amazing you are. You took Front Porches and Funerals and ran with it, spreading the word far and wide. Thank you for loving these characters as much as we do. #InVodkaWeTrust #KJBCB
Mammajamma- You the shit and you know it. Much love!
J- I have no idea why you haven’t kicked me to the curb yet, especially after this book. Thank you for understanding my dream and most of all supporting it. Instead of bitching when I’ve been sitting in the same spot for twelve hours straight looking like an extra from The Walking Dead, you ask if I want more coffee. I’m lucky to have you in my life (and even luckier since you totally got an early copy of the book without the acknowledgements… again… so you will probably never read this and I can just go on pretending like I’m not a little bitch where you’re concerned).
Cora’s Acknowledgements
I would like to thank KA for convincing me we had plenty of time to write this book, then effectively giving me seventeen ulcers when I looked at the calendar and realized I had three released dates in three weeks. It’s a good thing we’re best friends and work so well under pressure together or we would have probably killed each other by now. Much love my west coast homie. #duckflu4lyfe
Jennifer Wadkins, I am such a douche for leaving you out of the last acknowledgments. Thank you for all your help in my location placements for NOLA, Terrebonne, Shreveport, and pretty much all things road map. Book one would have never been as factual without you.
Crystal Unger. You mah right hand. Thanks for being on every FBI watch list known to man with me. If I jump you jump, Jack. Someday you’re going to wise up and realize I got the better end of this deal. Until then, I will thank God I have you in my life.
Cora’s Dark Angels, you pimp and spread the clap like champs. (Yeah I know how that sounds, but you know I had to write it like that for pure entertainment value) As always, you got my back, and you’ve got my heart.
Kay, thank you for being the original voice of Babs. I will forever read her lines in your weird Southern/Russian accent, talking about tripping on pebbles and warm summer days. Love you fam.
To all my family and friends, thank you for your support of this series and for allowing KA and I to talk about these characters as if they are real people. Because, they totally are.
To our amazing readers and bloggers, thank you thank you thank you for loving Swamp Bottom as much as we do and your continued support. If you keep reading, we’ll keep writing. That’s a promise.
About the authors
K.A Ware is an indie author living in Portland, Oregon. Her days consist of working at her real-life job in the financial field and taking care of her young daughter. Writing is not her only passion, K.A. also serves on the Board of Directors for a local non-profit and spends way too much time reading. She believes in the power of words, alpha females, and that special escape you get when you hunker down into a good book.
When she’s not busy mothering, working, writing, or reading she enjoys spending time with family and friends and embracing the weirdness that is Portland. K.A. loves music, so if you find yourself at a metal show in Portland —take a look around— she’s the crazy redhead head banging at the front.
Cora Kenborn writes contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels with strong heroines, loveable bad boys, lots of danger, and snarky banter. She loves delving into the mind of a dark villain as well as giggling while writing light-hearted rom-com.
Cora gets a kick out of talking about herself in the third person and is a true Southern girl from Eastern North Carolina, who grew up on sweet tea, front porches, and the simple life. She says “y’all,” “fixin’ to,” and should you deserve it, will “bless your heart.” She’s the proud mother of three hyperactive and occasionally adorable children, and the wife of a husband who tolerates her chaotic writer’s cave.
Although reading is her passion, she can usually be found watching true crime shows and crafting inspiration for twisted new tales. Cora admits to being a horrible cook, an even worse baker, and believes she’s more dangerous with a hot glue gun than any weapon on earth. Oh, and she and autocorrect are mortal enemies.
