feedback

was

invaluable.

My parents for being proud of me and encouraging me to achieve my goals. I love you both so much.

My neighborhood of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I know the characters in this book exist because I pass them on the sidewalk every day. This borough is a constant source of inspiration and exasperation. But I love it and hope I never stop using it as a setting.

My Facebook group, Bailey’s Babes, for being so freaking awesome I can’t stand it. Some mornings, you guys are the one thing that gets me writing.

My fellow authors who continue to selflessly support me with tweets and Facebook posts even though you’re drowning in work. Most of my readers have been turned on to my books by you and I’m consistently overwhelmed by the love.

Nicolette Day, Jennifer Blackwood, Christina Lee, and Jennifer McLaughlin.

So many more.

The bloggers/reviewers who have supported my books since the beginning.

I’m not sure I’d have a career at all if you guys weren’t working your butts off and promoting authors, often for free.
