  Ajee, I tried really hard not to whine this time. I think I made it to strike two. Thanks for not calling me out. I heart you hard.

  Sarah P., I think we should make a list of how many times I asked you to read things on short notice. It has to be brag-worthy by now. Thank you for being my go-to. You rock!

  Laura, thank you for making me feel like my words are picture worthy. You’re always there to support me and boost my confidence like a mofo with your epic teasers. I have so many plans for you. Are you ready?

  Sarah S., I’m so impressed you still want to beta read for me. I felt sure I scared you off earlier. But nope, you are superhuman. Thank you for guiding my stories and keeping me grounded with constructive support only to obliterate it by posting beautiful teasers that make me feel like I wrote something epic. I heart you.

  To my betas who are always my biggest supporter and group therapy when I need it, I love you guys. Each and every one of you.

  Autumn. Thanks for always hanging in there when I forget to tell you things or let my inner control demon loose. You are a hero for all the bullshit you deal with. Don’t think it goes unnoticed.

  Virginia and Rebecca of Hot Tree Editing. You’re stuck with me forever. The end. There is no negotiating this. I CANNOT live without you.

  Letitia, why are you so phenomenal? Every cover is magnificent. Especially this one. Thank you for enduring my million messages. I love you!

  Stacy, of Champagne Formats, you will be forever mine. Seriously, everything you do is gold. Thank you so much for being patient with me and always making time for last-minute crap.

  To Bex, thank you for making magic and cracking the code on this whole website business and creating all the beautiful graphics for Pitcher. You’re a Rockstar!

  A special thank you to the best reader group ever established: Kristy’s Commanders. You guys are a second family that I actually want to talk to.

  And a very special thank you to Andi and Sofia, who every week, wow me with their love and dedication to this series with their beautiful edits. Words will never be enough to describe what you do to my heart. Never.
