This is to all of my beta readers. Lea, Loren, Anna, Shelly, Shelly, Jessica, Andrenella, Christy, Bobbi Jo, Jennifer, Jeanne, and Stephanie… whew! Did I get you all there? I swear to God, if I missed someone, please for the love of Pete, come yell at me. I swear I didn’t mean to! Anyway, each and every one of you did something special and unique for me with this book. You all had your individual comments about how my writing was going, things that I could change, whether you loved it, whether you hated it, whether I was on the right path for Timber and Kat, it was all magnificent! Could I have written this book without you? Sure. Did I want too? Hell no! You all gave me the extra push on hard days to keep moving forward, to keep putting pen to paper and make this the best that I knew it could be. For this, I will be eternally grateful to you all!
Bobbie Jo, woman you are amazing! You’ve been with me since the beginning of writing Ever Enough, scraped me off the floor with Always Enough, and hounded the crap out of me to give you more sex in Touching Scars. Haha! I love your whit and quirkiness in the middle of a long day writing when a message would pop up on my chat and it’s a half naked guy. Who doesn’t want to see that? Besides the boy talk, you were the biggest help with this book over anybody else I’m calling out. I’ve bounced so many ideas off of you, brainstormed, and ran away with anything and everything we came up with. Nobody brainstorms like you can with me. You seem to read me well even though we’ve never met in person. You’ve connected with my writing style and you manage to understand what I’m looking for next. Thank you’s are sometimes not enough. This is one of those cases. You are so giving, and sweet with a side of naughty. I love you to pieces!
Kassi Cooper, uhhh…pretty sure the heaven’s opened up and tossed you in my lap. I had no idea you were a formatter, but either way, I knew I had to snag you. I’m excited to see what you can do with my baby, and I look forward to hopefully working with you even more. (Even past formatting.)
To all of my readers: whether you are new to me or a long time fan, I appreciate you all. You are who makes my writing worthwhile. I write for myself, but I also write for you. I’ve poured a ton of love, dedication, tears, fears, and laughter into Touching Scars. This book was very tough for me to write. I hope I did Timber and Kat justice, and the issues that they endured through the story. Loads of research went into this novel, and I am crossing my fingers that most, if not all, of you love it the way that I do.
I’m writing one big massive ‘THANK YOU’ to all blogs that have partaken in sharing my teasers, requesting an ARC, and reviewing Touching Scars. You all do so much work, putting together stuff for the readers, and it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by me. I wouldn’t be able to do this without every single one of you!
