  To Joely

  Hugs and love. Thank you for everything

  To my Jules

  Fucking wizard. I will meet you some day and we will hug….and be happy.

  To C&D

  I swear to God above you ladies make me crazy in such a good way. I literarily enjoy going through the edit process. Who the hell says that?!

  To Kellie

  I love you SOOO much. So much, that I promise to give you more time with the next book…. Umm…. Have I said that before?!? Okay I will make an effort to do that, for real.

  To Indie Ventions

  Mel…. You are a saint and I hope you know I feel that way. You could tell me to f off with my hundred changes but you don’t. Thank you.

  To Ivy,

  Missing you and super proud of you!!!

  To my virtual girls,

  My secrets are safe with you, and yours with me. How crazy is it that we meet people we never would have before and who truly become part of us? I love it! Love you all too!

  To K23,

  (author Kari March)

  I am so very appreciative of you as well. My readers first impression of my book comes from you. Thank you for always giving me perfection.

  To CC and my Kate,

  I love you both!

  To Franggy the cover model

  I am gonna skip right past the thanks to you and say it to God. Thank you God for Franggy….

  To Ellie

  Thank you for Franggy Yanez too. Would not have found a perfect Finn if not for you <3

  (insert middle finger pic… cause I know you like that as much as I do)

  To Terri Anne Browning,

  Thank you for allowing me to play with her band!

  If the Tainted Knights intrigued you check out Terri Anne Browning’s Rocker series starting with,

  The Rocker That Holds Me .

  The Tainted Knights by Terri Anne have their own series coming in late 2016.

  Last but not least…

  To my little chick,

  I will be forced to explain someday, I know I will. You will look at me like you did when you found the text that said I am free until 10 and freaked out and thought I was dating someone. You actually said ‘I want to jump in the lake, hit my head on a rock, and hope I don’t remember seeing that.’ And I swear you were serious and I am sorry I laughed so hard I couldn’t talk but it was hysterical.

  Lesson one… if you’re gonna snoop do it right, Joely is not JOE!

  Lesson two… what I want for you someday can be found within the pages of my books, NOT the naughty stuff, because I will take the key to the chastity belt, I will have you locked in, to the grave with me…. but that kind of man who makes up his mind and sticks with it. Who puts his family first. The kind of man that makes you smile and that cherishes your heart, that kind of love, forever steel.

  I will make certain you are that kind of woman too. You already are becoming her. So strong, so beautiful, so intelligent, so talented, and growing more confident in you everyday.

  I love you… more

  <3
