Acknowledgments
I am absolutely acknowledging the fact you probably hate me right now. I’m kind of sorry.
I’d like to thank my parents, Ric and Tammy, for their never ending love, support, and encouragement...also thanks for spotting me when I couldn’t pay for the hookers and blow. I owe ya.
Big fat thank you to my Twisted Sisters. My best friend, BamBam, and sister, Nae. Thank you for letting me bounce ideas off you and thank you for giving me peace of mind, a shoulder to lean on, and constant support over the last year. When the world was weighing me down, you each took a side and helped me lift it up, you’re both dirty crotch nuggets, but you’re my dirty crotch nuggets, and I love you.
I’d like to thank my BETA team; Morgen, Xochitl, Heather, Shameka, and Ashley. You bitches rocked the fuck out of this book. You were there every second I needed help, input, and encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you to the Sargent/Miller family for allowing me to work out of your home.
Brady, for immediately volunteering your laptop when mine crashed so I could finish this book, you’re a fucking life saver.
Lyndsey, for helping me throw things at your brother when I couldn’t make it, I love your fucking face.
I want to thank my mediocre boyfriend, Sid, for being the most understanding, supportive, and sweetest man in the entire fucking world. The man who gave me the coziest, quietest, and most comfortable place in his home to write. For building fires, bringing me food and drinks when I forgot to take care of myself, and dropping in randomly to kiss my big stupid face, thank you. You’re infuckingcredible and I love you bigger much, stupid much, forever much.
Thank you to my mega super awesome reader’s group; Ellie’s Broken Bitches.
You all gave me support and offered and unreal level of understanding to the delays and trials I faced during the production of this book. You all are my lifeline.
For those of you not listed as Drew’s conquests of December and are peeved at me, this is why you aren’t in the book; When I first finished Broken I had a group of about thirty people, mostly ARC readers. In that group I took a poll on who they liked more; Drew or Parker. Those who selected Drew that day were added to the book. So please don’t hate me.
Most importantly, I’d like to thank you.
This year has not been the easiest creatively and this book was written, rewritten, deleted, redone, ripped apart, sewn together, deleted once again, and then split in two. It has seen multiple release dates and a failed preorder, yet here you are… despite my wishy-washy releases, you’re still here reading Drew’s story and I will forever be grateful for your patience and understanding. I truly hope I’ve done the first half justice and will meet all your expectations in May with Book Two.
About the Author
I write solely for my sister, whose name shall not be mentioned to protect her lesbian identity. I'm a fun loving book dragon who has the ability to make sailors blush with colorful language and obscene gestures. I love reading, mostly young adult and new age. I'm part of a BANGerangin' book club that is guaranteed to be better than yours. I like to spend my days wondering around department stores reading erotica out loud, scaring the piss out of people, and playing "The floor is lava". (Adulting is lame.)
