You'll Think of Me (43 page)
Author Claire Contreras.
Where do I start? There are so many things I want to say but I fear I will get sappy so I need to keep it cool. First and foremost, your friendship is invaluable. It really is. You’re the kind of friend that doesn’t come around often. Thank you for getting my wicked and warped sense of humor, but for also having the same kind as I do. You stood by my side and always gave me straight talk even when I didn’t want to hear it. Thank you for remembering my characters names when I couldn’t, helping me work through plot holes and supporting me. You inspire me to be strong like you.
Author Tessa Teevan.
You jumped right on board without giving it a second thought and sailed right along with me. The support you showed me was overwhelming. I was blown away by it, truthfully. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your heart is big. Thank you for lending me your shoulder to cry on over and over. Lord knows I did it A LOT. You never complained about my freak outs or told me to suck it up. And for that alone, you deserve a box of wine! Thanks to you, there are a few songs that will always make me think of Luke and Livy.

Thank you for setting up my blog tour, dealing with the setbacks, laughing with me at the amount of copies I sent you and for listening to me bitch and whine. You’re the kind of friend who when days and months go by in which we don’t speak, we find a way to pick up like no time has passed. There are no awkward gaps in our friendship, and I love that. The amount of time you put into your blog and helping authors doesn’t go unnoticed. You care and it shows. Thank you for all your help.

I can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on me and suffering through the first few drafts of this book. I know it was a daunting task, but you did it with a smile and helped me so much. Your feedback helped form my story into what I envisioned. Thank you for being my friend and for your constructive criticism. There were many days when I didn’t think I could do it anymore, but you gave me the courage to keep going. Your advice, sometimes just a few short sentences, made all the difference to me. You’re a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you! And I’ll be sending you a print copy soon!
Author Beth Ehemann.
I can’t thank you enough for answering all of my questions while you screamed at your kids at the same time. Half the time, I didn’t know if you were yelling at me or at them while having consumed more than one 5HE. Those calls were some of my favorite calls ever! Thank you for being a real friend first, and allowing me to vent during my various stages of writing and publishing. A real friend is hard to find these days. You had my back every step of the way and that means more to me than anything. I can’t wait until February to see you! #boner #saliva

Alyssa West, aka gif queen aka hype killer. You, my friend, are one crazy and brutally honest person, but it’s what I value most about you…plus, your friendship. I know how stubborn you are with your reads, so when I say thank you for beta reading for me, I really mean THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH! You were one of the firsts to suffer through my messy rough draft and I can’t thank you enough for doing that.
Author Elizabeth Lee.
Thank you for answering all my questions, and for being so supportive of me. You gave me motivation and planted a seed in my brain…I don’t know whether to be happy about that or feel stressed since all I want to do is write it now! I guess I’m thankful. While I may have written a sweet country boy, yours are WAY better.
Bridget Peoples.
I know you were worried about your feedback in the beginning, but you helped me mold Luke into the character I had imagined. Thank you for making beautiful graphics, for your updates and feedback. You’re a good person with a kind heart. Thank you.

. Thank you for the countless covers you made until I was happy. I honestly thought you were ready to give up on me, but you never did. Thank you for my beautiful cover! I love it so much!

Thank you for fitting me into your schedule to format my book. I’m sorry I asked so many questions, but thank you for answering them so nicely.
My fairy Godmother,
Roxie Madar
. You came in when I needed you most! Maybe I’ll write up a pregnancy just for you. Thank you for all your feedback.
Author Pamela Sparkman.
My goodness, what you did for me! Your suggestions early on made my book better and I couldn’t be happier. It just goes to show what a good beta can see and suggest. I love the beginning of my book now—and I owe that all to you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my really rough (quite embarrassing) draft.

You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You encouraged me the very first day, and for that, I am thankful. To the first blogger to reach out to me,
Trisha at Devoured Words.
I will always remember that. Thank you for reading for me and being patient with all the docs I sent you.
Amanda Cantu.
Thank you for attempting to read my book and then not because I changed it so many times after I sent it. I pray you threw out that paper copy!
Janna Sierens.
You’re the only one who I can go head to head with and not win. Feisty brat that you are! Thank you for being so enthusiastic about reading my book and giving me updates, even if you wanted to throw your kindle. But more importantly, thank you for being YOU, very honest and real.
Author London Miller.
Thank you for giving me great feedback at the last minute.
Khriste Close.
Thank you.
To all the bloggers who took a chance on me,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! When I started out, I prayed that five would help promo me. That’s all I hoped for. I was blindsided by the amount of bloggers who were willing to take a chance on me. Thank you all so much! <3 And last, but certainly not least,
Amanda Hootie Clark.
Even though you had absolutely nothing to do with this book, I have one word for you: Click.
Edee Fallon.
Thank you is just not enough to show how much I appreciate everything you have done. When I found you, I was such a mess. I didn’t know where to go or what to do. I felt like a lost puppy wandering the streets alone. It was a difficult time for me. Thank you for answering every single one of my many, many questions- and repeatedly too! I’m sure I annoyed you to no end with the same questions, but you never showed it and were happy to answer each one with patience. You’re knowledgeable in so many areas and have taught me so much. Thank you for everything.
