There are always so many people to thank and I always worry I will forget someone. If you’re that someone, please know it’s my lack of sleep, not my lack of appreciation that is to blame for that.

First and foremost, my greatest thanks is always to God for giving me the ability, the passion and the need to tell these stories.

Thank you to my husband for his amazing support, his unconditional love and his unwavering faith in me.

Thank you to my parents for being all that you were and all that you always will be.

Thank you to my brothers, sister, nieces and nephews for making me happy and loving me.

Thank you to my best friends for embracing my crazy, joining in and never judging me for talking to people I make up in my brain. You know who you are. Especially Angie Boomtastic Tucker who I promised to mention in every book. I love you.

Thank you to my amazing PA’s, Heather Ricketts and Jenna Schmitt, for the pure and complete awesome that you both are. I’m so grateful for everything you do for me every day, but most of all, for your friendship.

Thank you to my beta readers for enduring the insanity that is me behind this keyboard. There’s a whole lot of crazy in this brain and you girls are some of the few who are brave enough to face it in its rawest form. I couldn’t love you more for it.

Thank you to my admin team for helping me not go crazy and for finding ways to make me smile every single time we talk. I’m so grateful to call you my friends.

Thank you to my street team for all of your hard work, love and support. There’s no way I could do what I do without you! I love every one of you!

Giant thank you to Brittnee *the fame is real* Harris and Cody Hett for helping me with this amazing cover. I love it so much and am so grateful to know there are still people in the world who are willing to climb onto a roof in the name of literature! Ha!

Special thanks to: Kathy Coopmans, Heather Slayton, Kimmy Brown, Charlotte Spence, Stephanie Mae, Giulie Kiessling, Liz Cicchini, Jennifer Zulkanycz, Sam Cady and Trent Ricketts for their extra support!

Thanks to the amazing author friends I’ve made! This book may not have happened without the late night chats and crazy long sprints!

Thank you to the bands and musicians who hung out with me and inspired me while I wrote.

Thank you to any and everyone who shared, liked, tweeted any of my stuff! Your support is amazing and I would never be able to make this happen without you!

Massive thank you to my amazing readers for reading my books, supporting my dreams and loving my characters and their stories! This book is so different from anything else I’ve done and I truly hope you love it as much as I loved writing it.

Sophie for putting me on this journey. I don’t care what anyone says. You’re real and I love you.

And last, but never least, Zeke and Addie. I am so honored to tell your story. I hope I do you justice!

Love Always,

Kate xo
