  Acknowledgements

  To my husband Eric – I will always love you more. Thank you for your unending support and encouraging me to chase after my dreams.

  To my mentor Jess Dee – You were the first to tell me this novel needed serious work. That first critique started me on this journey well over year ago. It was a moment in time that marked me forever. I’ll always be in your debt for taking the time to give me advice, review my words, and tell me to keep chasing after my dream. I adore you and strive to one day be as good of a story teller as I have found in you. Thank you my friend. www.jessdee.com.

  To my critique partner Sarah Saunders – You have become an integral part of writing my novels and I don’t know how I survived without you. I hope I don’t ever have to. I love you girlie.

  To my editor Alfie Thompson – Thank you for ripping this to shreds not once but twice! In the end, it made me a better writer.

  To my sisters Jeana, Michele, and Denise – I hope you find as much of Mom in this first book as I did. I’d like to think she was my muse for this novel, poking and prodding me along the way. I think she’d be proud of the end product.

  To my beta readers:

  Jeananna Goodall – My biggest fan. I’m not sure how the experience would be if I didn’t have you cheerleading and anticipating every chapter as I write them. I so enjoy your love affair with my characters. It’s as if they want to please you. Jeananna, you’re beautiful and too good to me. I hope I can return the favor over the years to come.

  Ginelle Blanch – I’m pretty sure you win every award for finding the most unique errors. Without your keen eye for details I’d receive a lot more complaints about my grammar. Plus, I so look forward to reading your thoughts. You have such a way with words and your feedback saves my ass every time! Thank you girlie.

  Heidi Ryan – Your betas are like opening up my own personal version of Chicago Manual of Style. You are now, and forever will be the Comma Queen. Thank you for taking the time to read and fix my errors. You are a sweetheart!

  Emily Hemmer - Because my misery loves company and so does yours. I love that I have you to talk, vent, and share challenges and achievements. One day we’ll be on that damned list girlfriend! www.emilyhemmer.com

  Additional special thanks to the following:

  To Audrey’s Angels – My official Audrey Carlan Street Team. I’m incredibly blessed to have the most amazing women to lift me up and cheer me on. It’s not possible to thank you for everything you do for me. Mostly, thank you for being strong, beautiful women that support and care for one another. I heart you all big time!

  To Drue Hoffman – Best blog tour chick in the universe! She does incredible book promoting services for authors with a special love for helping out the indies. Visit her site to view pricing and service offerings. You’ll be happy you did. www.druesrandomchatter.com

  To Tibbs Design – You floored me with the cover of BODY. It’s uncanny how you are able to delve into my psyche and design the perfect graphics to perfectly express the story. Thank you for continuing to work with me and make beautiful art to comingle with my words. www.tibbsdesign.com
