Breaking Away

Nortis, Bobbie Jo, and Stacey, I think the dedication says it all. I love you three so much.

Dad and Patsy, thank you for supporting me and always telling me how proud you are of me.

To my family I don’t have room to mention, I love you and thank you for the support.

To my agent, Rebecca, thank you for working so hard for me, and always being there to answer my questions.

To my betas, Laurie, Lisa, Susie, Mary, Althea, Lisa, Christy, Rosarita, and Margreet, this book couldn’t have happened without y’all. Thank you and I love each of you so much.

To Regina, the cover is a thing of gold. You are a cover master my friend. I love you so much for taking my vision and rocking the hell out of it.

To Cynthia, thank you for editing the hell out of this book and making it amazing!

To Damaris, it has to be tough being my PA/PR but man I love you for it! Thank you for coming into my life and being amazing.

To Sue Grimshaw, thank you for forming me into the author I am today. I value our time together.

To my Authors of the Self, Amy, Emmy, Rebecca, Renee, Hadley, Julie and Gretchen, my life would not be the same without y’all. I love you so much.

To my new friends, I love you. To my old friends, thanks for helping me grow.

To the Nashville Predators, well, mostly Shea Weber, thank you for giving me a team that I can be inspired by. I love you guys and will continually be the biggest Preds Fan EVER!

And to my mom, I love and miss you every single day you are not here. Thank you for raising such a strong woman, I couldn’t have done anything I’ve done this year without the foundation you laid down for me. Thank you. I love you. I miss you.

And last, but certainly not least, my amazingly, so totes-ma-goates awesome fans,

I LOVE YOU!

Y’all make this business worth it to me. If I didn’t have you, I’d be writing and saving manuscripts instead of having the balls to share them with the world. I freaking love y’all and I will always treasure each of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
