Rampant (21 page)
Authors: Gemma James
A big lip-smacking kiss to my betas. Amber, Crystal, and Momo, who read the first few chapters, and to Pam Godwin, who gave me last minute feedback that was so spot-on, I raced against the deadline and ended up adding another 2,000 words. Because of the feedback you guys gave me, I believe Rampant is a better story for it. Thank you!
To the members of my street team. I’m still a bit stunned you all have signed on! Thank you so much for everything you do.
There have been countless blogs who’ve pimped out my work, hosted takeovers and giveaways, and have gone above and beyond, especially since I published Torrent over the summer. I could probably write a full chapter just by listing all of you, so please allow me to keep this short and sweet and just say that I’m forever grateful for your hard work. You guys continue to amaze me. You work tirelessly to promote authors, often without expecting anything in return, simply because you love books. Book bloggers are rock stars to authors! I can’t name you all here, but I love each and every one of you.
A special thank-you to my best friend Crystal for putting up with my crazy road trips and for letting me talk her ear off all the way home about plot issues and crazy ideas. And to fellow authors Rebecca Berto, Skye Callahan, and Kristin Elyon: thank you for the Facebook chats! I value your friendship more than you know. I’d also like to shout out to Jessica Nollkamper, my editor. Thanks for working on such a short deadline!

She's morbidly curious about anything dark and edgy, from deviant sex to serial killers. Readers have described her stories as being "not for the faint of heart."
