What's Left of Us Page 20


  Giulie Kiessling and Tami Lee: You two women mean the world to me! Thank you for your continued support and believing in my work. You make each day better.

  Polly Barreto: Meeting you at the E.L James book signing was fate. You’re a true friend, supporter, and pusher. You pushed for me to write more Parker and Aundrea and no matter what, you believed in me and my writing. Thank you!

  Lisa Pantano Kane: I’m still in shock by how much love you have for Parker and Aundrea. Since our first encounter you’ve been a huge supporter of me and I’ll be forever thankful for your kind and loving friendship.

  Steph Nuss: There is no amount of words for what your friendship and support have meant to me. Thank you for everything.

  Nic Farrell: Your words of encouragement mean everything to me. You’re always there to swoop in. Thank you for being such an amazing friend and support system.

  Emmy Hamilton: You have an eye for detail. Thank you for taking one last look through on What’s Left of Us and catching the things I missed!

  To all the authors in my support group: Each and every single one of you inspires me to be a better writer. I’m still shocked I’m in this industry with you. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not thankful for all the advice and support each of you have given me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

  AL Jackson, Willow Aster, Kahlen Aymes and Sloan Johnson: You women have been a huge inspiration to me. You’re all equally talented and have written some of my favorite books of all time. I’m still in awe to be among you in this amazing author world. Thank you for accepting me, befriending me, recommending and believing in my work.

  To all the amazing women in my street team and the What’s Left of Me (and soon to be What’s Left of Us) reader group: I don’t think thank you is enough for all you do, but thank you. I love interacting with each and every one of you. Your messages light up my day! Thank you for your continued support and loving Parker and Aundrea. Thank you for wanting more and believing in me!

  To every single one of you bloggers, big or small: We’re all in this together and I’d be nowhere without your support and love for reading. Each and every single one of you are valuable and I’m so thankful you’ve welcomed me into this world with open arms. Thank you for helping get this story out there, believing in me and my writing, and supporting my stories.

  To whom ever I missed: I’m sorry, but please know it wasn’t intentional. There are so many people I’ve come in contact with over the last few years and you all continue to amaze me with how welcoming you are: bloggers, authors, readers and friends. Thank you for everything.
