Hush (Black Lotus #3)(83)
To my fans, I cannot thank you enough for continuing to love my characters and support my stories. Your loyalty means the world to me. The greatest joy is being able to cut my heart open, pour my blood on the pages, and hand it over to you.
Sally Gillespie, you are one of my biggest blessings! The time you sacrifice for me is simply incredible. Thank you for helping me in the creation of this story. I had a blast working with you on the book. We’ve blushed, we’ve laughed, and we’ve cried more times than I can count, but we did it! You are my backbone, and I’d fall to pieces without you.
Bethany Castaneda, thank you for all the little things you do that are huge things for me! You save me so much time and so many headaches. Whenever I call, you are always there for me. And no matter what, I can always count on you for a good laugh. You keep this boat afloat, and I am so grateful to have you as part of my team.
Jennifer Juers, thank you for your honesty and time. I love that you don’t sugarcoat anything! You never try to appease me; you only want to help me even if it means telling me the cold, hard truth. The time you put in to making this book the best it can be is invaluable! You are my secret weapon.
Mary Elizabeth, damn Daniel! Thank you for inspiring me to be a better writer. Your support, guidance, and friendship are so precious to me.
Ashley Williams, wow! Just WOW! How do I even thank you properly? The hours upon hours you have devoted to this book are downright incredible! You make my words strong, even though you bust my balls to do so. From the early mornings to the late nights, and everything in between, you have been there with me every step of the way through this book. I am looking forward to sharing this experience with you for many books to come. You are an amazing editor and friend!
Lisa Lisa Lisa, my partner in crime, there’s no one I’d rather fight with than you! I cannot say it enough, you are truly a gem. Thank you for always believing in me, for always pushing me to be a better writer, and for not beating around the bush. You give it to me honestly, and even though I dig my heels in the ground because I’m stubborn, I really appreciate all that you do for me. I love you, and I miss you, and you should totally move next door to me so we can always be together!
Thank you, Denise Tung, for working your magic and organizing all the promos and reviews. I couldn’t do this without you!
Erik Schottstaedt, once again, you’ve crafted another beautiful photo for my cover. Thank you for creating the whole look of this series.
Bloggers, there are too many of you to name, but each and every one of you are equally important. Thank you for your undying support.
To my husband, none of this would be possible without you. You’re the best Mr. Mom I know. Thank you for taking care of the children, the house, the laundry, the dinners, and so much more to allow me the time and privacy I need to write. I love you, babes!
And finally, thank you to Elizabeth, Declan, and Pike. Living inside of your souls for the past two years has been an amazing experience. We’ve been on quite a journey together. I’m heartbroken to say goodbye and to put you up on my bookshelf after all we have been through. I will miss each of you in very different ways the way each of you have touched my heart in different ways. You have allowed me to discover pieces of myself I never knew were inside me, pieces that I needed to know were there. I’m going to miss you. I’ll look for you all in my dreams when I find my way into the forest—into the fairytale.
