Glitter (Glitter Duology #1)(98)

My own wedding.





Acknowledgments


So many people had their hands in the creation of this book. Thanks to my agent, Mandy Hubbard, who scraped me off the pavement after I’d been kicked to the curb not once but twice and who believed in Glitter right from the beginning. To my editor, Caroline Abbey, who put so much time into the development of this story. Truly above and beyond. To Emi Haze for an incredible cover for a super-quirky book. To Mollie Glick, who gave me some crucial advice about the setting of Glitter, even though I didn’t end up signing with her. Thank you, Mollie!

To Lauren DeStefano for an early read and critique, not to mention hundreds of whiny emails. Hundreds. To all of the Cave Creek ladies (+2 gents) who were so supportive when I didn’t even know what to do with good news. To Sandy for all of those runs when I spaced out because I started plotting. To Kristin Harmel for amazing feedback and a wonderful listening ear. You are one of my favorite finds of the last few years. To Skyelyte, who gave me a super-early beta read, even though it meant she’ll have to wait forever for the sequel. Thank you for your time and DMs and RTs.

My family and family-in-law are always so very supportive. Especially when I’m under deadline and am useless for anything else. My kids, who are endlessly patient with their Writer Mom. And my husband. Oh man, Kenny. I would melt down into a puddle of mush without you and everything you do.
