Third Base (The Boys of Summer Book 1)



My dedication speaks for itself, Dad, when I say thank you for introducing me to the vast world of sports. Our shared love goes beyond baseball and I love how we can sit on the couch and watch everything together from baseball, basketball, auto racing, tennis and even golf. You taught me to not only appreciate sports, but to have knowledge of the game and that is something I’ve been able to pass along to my girls.

To my usual crew, as always, thank you for everything that you do to help bring each idea to life. Yvette, Traci, Georgette, Tammy – you guys put up with a lot of harebrained ideas and I appreciate it. Amy, Audrey, Kelli, Tammy and Veronica – you guys work so hard to make sure everyone knows about my stories, thank you. To Susan – thank you for putting everything aside to read Third Base.

The design team: Thank you, Eric, for not giving up on finding the “right” guy for me. When you showed me Blake, he embodied my vision for Ethan! And Blake… As I write this you have just gone through something so traumatic and are living to tell the tale. I hope that you take this new life you were given and do great and amazing things with it. Sarah, as always, you blow me away with each cover you give me and as much as I love them all, you hit this one out of the park! Emily, your crew is amazing and works tirelessly to bring our books some flavor.

To my family – as always I appreciate everything you do.
