Acknowledgments
God is the Almighty One who gives me the courage to hit publish, the ideas for my stories, the time and ability. Without Him, I would not survive. I am so blessed to know Him and His love for me.
My family stepped up in a big way for Together. I struggled while writing not because I didn’t feel the story or love it, but because our family, like so many others, has been dealing with a lot of hard times. One thing I appreciate about the four other humans who live in this home with me, is that they not only encourage, they remind me why I do what I do. They’re not ashamed to say they’re proud of me or tell everyone they know that I write romance books for a living.
I truly believe that books are an important part of our world. We learn from them, find an escape, fall in love, are encouraged, get lost, relax, lose ourselves, and discover things about ourselves. Reading is my escape and to have a family that supports me in giving back some of those stories is incredibly humbling.
So to my family who lives through my stress, thank you. I could not love you more or be happier to have you as mine.
Jill, I have no words for how much I cherish our friendship. I love you so much.
Andrea, Rachel, ladies in The Walk, and all my author friends, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world. You are the reason being an author is the best job in the entire world.
Kate, Maria, and Amie — there are no three people who push me or help me more. You’re invaluable to me and I love you dearly.
Najla, thank you for listening to exactly what I envisioned for Nik and Ashley’s cover and nailing it! You’re a gem.
Julie, you deserve a million gold stars for putting up with me. Yikes. Don’t leave me. I beg you.
Kaitie, thanks for being a beautiful friend and support.
Huge thanks to Sarah, Pella EMS and Michael, NOLA PD, for their help in making sure specific scenes were accurate! I am so grateful you both took time to guide these scenes.
Bloggers, no matter how many books I publish, I’m still so very honored you fit me into your busy schedule. I know you receive countless emails a day and know that every time you choose to share and/or read and review one of my books, I’m so grateful.
Readers, the options for what books you choose to read every day (at least I hope you get to read daily!) are endless. You chose Together and for that, I thank you. I truly hope you enjoyed it.
If you’re in my reader group, Jennifer’s Java Girls, thank you for your support and being one of the best groups on Facebook. If you haven’t joined yet, please do so by clicking the link! We love new members and I’d love to see you join us.
Thank you to my English teachers growing up who instilled in me a love for the written word and for my parents who were often found holding books to wind down in the evening.
And finally, you, everyone else, and anyone who I’ve forgotten because I can be forgetful, thank you.
Help?
Help me out?
Did you enjoy your time spent with Nik, Ashley, and the rest of the gang (well, maybe not Grace but I made it right in the end, yeah?) of Together? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Reviews are so vital for authors. They not only help other readers decide whether or not to pick up a book, they also help us improve our craft. If you are able, I’d love for you to leave a quick review on Amazon, Goodreads and/or BookBub. It doesn’t need to be long or detailed – short and sweet works just as great!
Thank you so much!

About the Author
From the Ground Up was Jennifer’s first published novel and now that she was bitten by the writing bug, has no intention of ever stopping. Jennifer makes her home in small town Iowa with her high school sweetheart, three beautiful, hilarious and amazing kids, one crazy Jack Russell terrier. This is where her love for all things reading, baking, and cooking happen. Jennifer’s family enjoys camping, boating, and spending time outside as much as possible. You'll be her best friend if you can make her laugh and follow up with asking her what to read next. When she’s not writing, you can find her cheering the loudest at her kids’ sporting events (read as: embarrassing them), sipping coffee or iced tea out of a mason jar with her Kindle in her lap or binging on Netflix.

What’s Coming Up?
I am SO excited about what’s coming up! First of all, look for an amazing boxed set later this spring. I’ve never released a boxed set before and with my return to Liberty, I was feeling incredibly inspired. You’ll get a few added scenes that you won’t want to miss and that’s your only hint for now. Ha! Make sure you’re signed up for my newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dcTJKf and in my reader group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/JennifersJavaGirls/ to stay in the know.
I’m currently writing a story that has me more excited than probably any others. Why? Because it’s about a farm boy. And if you know anything about me, you know that I married the sexiest, most hard working farm boy out there. I’m also raising two farm boys, so to say that I know a bit about what makes a farmer tick would be an understatement. Never Really Over is a single parent romance and I’ll tell you this: Colt and Layla are amazing.
After Never Really Over, be watching for A Love Like Ours: A Married Couple Romance and One Night Forever: A Mature Second Chance Romance
I’ll be sharing more on both of these soon!
