Miles From Home (28 page)

Thank you to Lora Lynch at Dream Master Designs for your patience while I stressed over my cover. You really did a great job.

Thank you to Champagne Formats for taking care of my baby; you did a fabulous job.

A huge thank you to all the Book Bloggers that were kind enough to share

on their pages. I wish you truly knew how much it meant to me. You promoted and pimped a totally unknown and unpublished newbie just as though you would a best-selling-author. Thank you for the love and support. You all deserve more credit than you get.

A big thank you to my blog partners, Paula and Jamie. Paula, you really are my right arm, and I could not have done this without you. You are AMAZING! While you continued to raise two small children, you always had time to take care of whatever needed to be done.

Jamie, you are a master at blogging, and took care of our blog page like a pro. And you have a lot to be proud of. The job that you’ve done did not go unnoticed.

Thank you to my Mercy girls. You all know who you are.

Thank you to Paula Simoes Batista for the kick-ass trailer. Your vision of Sam and Maggie’s story was perfect.

I would also like to thank the following authors:

Cassia Leo: Your books rekindled my love for reading. Thank you for your friendship and believing in me. I will always stalk you!

Sarah Ann Walker: Your words of encouragement were all I needed to keep going when I doubted myself.

Kate Stewart: Thank you for always answering my text messages. Your love and encouragement are greatly appreciated.

Kathy Coopmans: Thank you for being my “sassy” friend.

Hilary Storm: Because you’re a bad-ass author and I aspire to have your attitude one day.

And last but definitely not least, I want to thank my editor, Jill Hope Weinstein aka “The Grammar Goddess” (Easy Edits by Jill). Your words of wisdom and encouragement made me feel like I knew what I was doing. Even though you made me feel like a “real author” I know my book was probably one of your biggest challenges. You made my words look and sound so much better, and I will forever be indebted to you!

If you enjoyed her work, please take a few moments to leave a review where you purchased your copy. Reviews are like oxygen to an Indie author and what seems like such a small thing can actually be the biggest to them.
