A Fighting Chance (50 page)

Shelley – What can I say that hasn’t already been said? You have become such a good friend of mine over the last year. Thank you for pushing me and being honest with me and yanking me back from the ledge countless times. Every time I swear I’m quitting writing, I remember that if not for it we never would’ve connected. I owe you so many drinks. Love you, girl!

Arijana – You absolutely ROCKED the cover of AFC. You are a creative genius and yet so humble, and I’m looking forward to the day when all your cover designs are in bookstores. Thank you. I will always be grateful and touched by your work <3

Courtney – Thanks for the awesome gchats! Really helped when I was seconds away from going crazy. LOL.

Cameron – Thanks for fixing my hot mess. I’m learning some impulse control because of you! LOL.

The people who I force to read my first drafts (read = laugh at).

Everyone who signed up and read the ARC to this book when I was freaking out about whether it was something people even wanted to read: Whoa, thank you!

Huge thank you to all the bloggers who signed up for the ARC tour, again when I was freaking out about whether anyone would even want to read it.

To all the readers: Thank you for being there through the ups and downs. I love your support and friendship and humor. You guys rock!

A.J. Sand grew up an only child whose parents bought her many, many books to keep her busy, so it was only natural that she would start writing her own stories. She is the author of “Documentary,” “Remake” and “Recklessly.” She lives just outside of Washington, D.C.
