Tainted (26 page)

To me, this is the hardest part of a book to write. There are so many people who have helped me, and I know I will miss a few.

To my husband—Without you, I would never have finished any of my books. You’re my rock.

To my parents—You listen to me and help me with everything I need. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you.

To my blogger friends—Gah! I can’t say thanks enough times to all of you. You’re not
just
bloggers to me. You’re my friends. Without you, no one would even know who K.A. Robinson is. No one would know who Drake is. (That would be a damn shame right there, wouldn’t it?) Your support means so much to me.

To my “real-life” friends—Thank you for dealing with my constant absence. I know it’s hard to get a hold of me. I get so into writing that I forget to live sometimes. You’re always there to drag me back to reality. I love you!

To my author friends: Tabatha, Katelynn, Sophie, Tijan, and several others I know I’m forgetting—I love you. Seriously. You guys keep me calm, help me when I need it, and remind me to eat. I feel so blessed to call you my friends.

To my readers—Your response to Chloe and Drake has been overwhelming. I
never
imagined that so many of you would care about these two characters the way you do. You guys continue to rock my world on a daily basis. I love you all to pieces.

To Letitia—You make the best covers. Ever. Thank you!

To Jovana—You deserve a medal for dealing with my crazy self and for reading the unedited mess of a book that I send to you. You rock!
