ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’m keeping it brief this time—promise!
I have to thank my fabulous husband, Shawn, and
my beautiful baby boy, Zack, first and foremost once more. You both
mean the world to me, and I am so blessed to have you in my life. I
thank God every day that I get to be your wife and mother.
Thanks again to my family and friends, both
real-life and online, for always being supportive and understanding
when I’m going through a deadline crunch. Julie: I know I can call
you up any time of day or night and you will be there for me, and
that means so much to me!
Of course, I have to thank my agent, Ginger
Clark; my editor, Jessica Wade; my publicist, Rosanne Romanello; my
cover artist, Judy York; and the art department at Ace. You all
truly rock!
To the readers, booksellers, and librarians:
Without you, I wouldn’t get to live out my dreams of writing for a
living, and I owe you more than words can adequately express. So
I’ll just keep it simple: Thank you.
