The End
Dear Readers,
I am forever grateful to those of you who made my first book series successful. When I started this process I thought I would simply try my hand at writing a novel. Maggie attacked my brain and wouldn’t let go. She was like a virus. Parker was more of a slow infiltrator. Originally his point of view didn’t exist, but over time he found his way into my thoughts. With my mind thoroughly occupied by two lost souls, my first novel was born. I couldn’t get their whole story into one book though, so that novel turned into a series.
The good news is the series isn’t quite finished. Sarah hasn’t had her happy ending yet, but she has one in stored. A girl like her deserves it, right? Loyal readers, I am excited to announce Sarah’s book,
Find Me in Manhattan
, will be released in March 2015.
In the mean time, if you wouldn’t mind helping a girl out, please go on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Goodreads and review this book. Tell me what you loved, what you didn’t love so much, and what you want more of in the future. I love hearing from readers, so find me online and share your thoughts.
Thanks for the support!
Love,
Shealy

Acknowledgements:
As usual, my friend and self-appointed life coach, Karla Reed, made this book better with her editing prowess and general awesomeness. She has no idea how much love I have for her. She’s my Jiminy.
Ryan Ringbloom had the pleasure of being the first to read the rough version of Finding Us, and I feel certain this book wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t saved me from a writer’s block.
A huge shout out to my new beta readers Lisa Wilson and Mia Rivers, who both offered critical feedback right there at the end. You can thank them for the intimacy between Maggie and Parker because I originally skimped too much on it. They wanted more, thank goodness. Maggie and Parker are hot for each other, and it needed to be written.
Fortunately I have a husband who not only supports me by letting me write in peace, but he helps with marketing, babysitting our new baby girl, and coffee and wine purchasing. Not to brag, but he loves me like Parker loves Maggie, so I am one lucky girl.
