To the cover-design team—thank you Tom Forget, Howard Huang, the gorgeous model Alexa Benk, and everyone who had a hand in the three Sweet covers. Such fun! (PS, if you know who the mystery male model is, I’d love to know, too, ha-ha. It’s not Wade Poezyn, but I do want to thank him for being a great sport about all this book stuff. ☺)
A world of gratitude goes out to my friends (many of whom are early readers whose feedback rocked my writing world): Kelley Vitollo (aka Nyrae Dawn), Jolene Perry, Evie J, Carrie McRae, Jen Armentrout, Chanelle Gray, Courtney Fetchko, Jill Chamberlin Powell, Brooke Leicht, Carol Marcum, Jill Wilson, Hilary Mahalchick, Holly Andrzejewski, Christine Jones, Danielle Daniels, Valerie Friend, Meghan Lublin, Ann Kulakowski, Joanne Hazlett, Janelle Harris (and Jimmy, for more drummer jokes), Daniela Meilinger, Sam Wilson, and Carolee Noury.
And back to where it all began, thank you, Google, and thank you, God.
It’s been a wild ride. Thanks for swooning, laughing, and crying with me. I’m not sure what’s next, but I’m sure looking forward to finding out.
