Enchanting Wilder (47 page)

Kandi Steiner – My Book Big. I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and I wish so many great things for you. And I can’t thank you enough for making my RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL cover and helping beta this book. You’re the best Big there ever was. I love you.

Danielle Lagasse – My amazing friend. I love you so much. This year wouldn’t have been nearly as good without you. You came into my life just when I needed you and I’m so damn thankful. You’ve had a tough year and I just want you to know that everything you do matters. And everyone in your life is so lucky to be a part of it. You’re such a sweet soul and I see your goodness every day. Believe in my words because they are the truest thing I can offer. I’m so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished. This book was for you. Thank you for being so excited and being a part of my tribe.

Megan Addison – Girl, how have we not been friends our entire lives?! You are my Soul Sister. My SS. I don’t know what I’d do without you. You were a reader, a beta, and then you became my friend. One of the very best. I don’t know another reader who loved these characters as much as you did. Your loyalty to them and to me is astonishing. Your notes and encouragement is what kept me going when I was feeling low. Thank you for taking a chance on me. I couldn’t have done this without you. I love you! Here’s to always keep fighting, our gif conversations, and our Supernatural talks. I can’t wait to cuddle you in New York.

Tina Lynne – Thank you so much for encouraging me. You’re always there to lend a helping hand if I need it. You drop everything to make sure you’re sharing and posting and most importantly, you always give me your 100% attention and devotion when you’re reading my books. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Gah, I love you! Your friendship means so much. I don’t know what I’d do without your smiling face. I can’t wait to snuggle you!

Rene Elaine – My brave and beautiful big sister. Your grace and poise are things I strive for. You’re one of the most amazing women and I’m so lucky that you live close to me. All of those years without you were hard, but we’re here, stronger than ever and I’m so thankful. You’ve loved this story from the get-go. I outlined it with you and ran ideas past you. And there was never a time when you weren’t super excited. I can’t thank you enough for always believing in me. I love you.

Monica Garrett – Mama, every time I write a book, it’s your opinion that means the most. You’ve always taught me that good things come to those who work hard, and you were so right. Thank you for instilling good work ethic into me and pushing me to be my best, even when I want to quit. Whether it was singing or writing, you always believed in me and knew I could accomplish anything if I just kept trying. I get to live my dream because of the values you encouraged. I love you so much. Thank you for being the best mom anyone could ever hope for.

Jess Vogel – Smoogles! I love you. You’re probably my most animated and enthusiastic friend in my life. You love my stories and you love me and I’m forever grateful. Thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to write.

Ashlei Davison – Thank you for being awesome. You swoon with me, and you’re always there to lend a hand if I need it. I love you!

Thomas Sims – Can I get a JENSEN ACKLES, please?! Good God, that man…I love that you love him just as much as I do. You are one of those guys who just radiates good. I see it in you every day. You’re one of the best people I know. You have such a kind heart and go through this crazy life with a smile on your face, never wavering – I look up to you. Thank you for always believing in me. I don’t think I could write a book without you. Here’s to still sharing my husband, Duane, Jennings, Lark, and now Declan with you. I’m really going to have to cut you off one of these days…

Jennifer Baily – My sweet friend. I’m so proud of you and the writer you’ve become. You’ve accomplished so much and I couldn’t be happier for you. You’re so strong and I wish I had half the grace you have. I love you and I can’t wait to see where your life takes you.

My betas – Megan, Sally (Brooks), Brittany (Meyer), Candy, Jess, Ashlei, and Rene. You girls are what made this book so damn fun to write. Your love for the story and your reassurance made it by far my most favorite books to date. We put our blood, sweat, and tears into this book. I without a doubt, 100% couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do this without you. Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.

Elaine York from Allusion Book Formatting and Publishing – Thank you for always making my books so pretty on the inside. You’re the best in the business and I love you for always making each and every author your priority. We are so very lucky to have you.

My street team – Cass and the Sass! Holla! We are going to #SassSquad the crap out of this! You guys…I don’t know how I got so lucky to have such an amazing group of readers behind me, but holy hell, did I get lucky. You all are so damn wonderful and are always excited for me. You make this book world fun. You’re everything. I love you all so much.

To all of bloggers – Big, little…you guys are what makes a successful book. Every share, every like, every mention, every blog post, you’re helping us little indies chase our dreams. You’re doing more than anything we could have hoped for. I couldn’t do this without you and I can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on me. Thank you for always having my back. I always feel safe with you all in my court.

To all of my READERS – Yes, you, my beautiful and fearless reader. Firstly, thank you so much for taking a chance and reading my first paranormal romance. I’ve always written contemporary, and I seriously went out of my comfort zone when I wrote Wilder. I loved the experience so much and I hope you did too. I wouldn’t be anything without you all. You are the reason I keep trucking when I’m on the verge of quitting. Your reviews, your comments, your messages, your teasers, you guys fill a void in my life and I wish there was enough articulate words to tell you how blessed I feel to have you all with me on this journey. I know there are a million other books in this world and I don’t, for one second, take for granted the fact that you read mine. I’m sending each and every one of you a squishy hug. Make sure to keep up with me on Facebook and Twitter! My door is always open.

Cassie Graham is a firey redhead with an intense love for fairytales--angsty, suspenseful fairytales--but fairytales nonetheless. She’s had all kinds of jobs--but the one she loves the most is being a writer. She finds solace in it. She’s also a mom to a beautiful little girl. Her greatest joy is watching her grow. 

Cassie has always loved to write and is so thankful that she’s able to do it full-time. She’s very lucky to have a husband who works his booty off working so she can live out her dream. He’s the reason why writing romance is so easy.

Cassie is a born and raised Arizona girl. Though she has moved around a bit, her home always calls to her. It’s where her heart will remain. 

If Cassie isn’t writing, she’s more than likely cooking in the kitchen with her daughter or has her nose buried deep in a good book. She loves front porch sitting, drinking coffee and constantly dating her husband.
