Everything Unexpected (40 page)

FIRST COMES LOVE…

Love always comes first.

I’M NOT THE greatest at writing these—not because I’m not thankful for all who helped me along the way, but even as a writer, I feel like words just don’t articulate quite enough sometimes.

But I’ll try.

To my fantastic editors who read and reread every word, line and paragraph – your thoughts, opinions and comments mean everything to me. I’m very aware that each change/edit/deletion only made this book better. So thank you Megan and Kristen.

To my Beta Readers…Taking time out of your busy schedules to read and give me your input means so much. Christine, Keely, Nikki and Amanda. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To all the pregnant ladies – Baxy, Danielle, Shawna, Tara, Jenn to whom I asked silly questions and who gave back silly and hilarious answers—Muah!

Chelsea – lawyer extraordinaire, thank you for all your legal expertise.

Jason at Framed Photography – photographer extraordinaire, thank you for answering all my camera questions.

Julie and JT Formatting – I can forever trust that my pages will look incredible when left in your hands.

Sarah at Okay Creations for her incredible talent at creating beautiful covers. They usually start out as random thoughts and jumbled images in my head but somehow end up as art wrapped around my words.

To my friends who incessantly ask when the next book will be done, well it’s here and thanks for the support!

My family who tirelessly and selflessly promote me and my books more than I could ever dream.

Words cannot describe how fortunate I’ve been for the bloggers and fellow authors who read and promoted a stranger—a writer they’ve never heard of but still took a chance on. Their support and kind words are what allows me to keep writing and allowed me to bring you Everything Unexpected. The list of names is long and extensive and one day when I’m organized enough to write them all down, I will. But for today, just know that I am forever in your debt.

And lastly, the readers. Without YOU, there is no ME doing this. The term thank you is not big enough, but it’s all I’ve got. THANK YOU.

“This is Love is Caroline Nolan’s debut novel and an amazing one at that. When I was finished reading this book I wanted to look her up and find other books that she had written so I can add them to my TBR list. But then I read the acknowledgements and saw that this was her first book and I was completely surprised because the writing was fantastic. Ms. Nolan is such a talented writer. The words flowed so perfectly. The story told was beautiful and at times emotional. And the characters she created were so real and people that you will fall in love with.”
