Moments of Reckoning (16 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Where to start!? I have been writing on this book for a little over a year now and I honestly CANNOT believe that it is out there for the world to see!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to each and every one of you that have purchased Moments of Reckoning. You guys are truly amazing for helping me make my dreams come true!

I would like to thank my parents for allowing me to grow up in a creative world, you both allowed me to have my dreams and aspirations without knocking me down from them and you always reminded me that I could be who I wanted to be no matter what others had to say! I love you both dearly!!!!

My love, Clifton Greenwell, I watch you follow your dreams every weekend that you get up on that stage and sing your heart out to the people that love to hear As Is play, and I truly admire you! You are such a wonderful man and I cannot picture my life without you in it.

My best friend and one of my beta readers, Kristen Cecil. Girl you have been my rock since the first day I met you in Algebra class freshman year of high school! What would I do without you!? No matter how frustrated I became while writing this book, you pushed me to complete it because you knew exactly how much this meant to me and I thank you for that. Sisters for life!

Jen Akers, You are seriously a LIFE SAVER!!!! Thank you for taking so much time out of your busy life to help me edit this bad boy!! Lord knows it needed it!!! LOL! You should seriously be on someone’s payroll to edit, because you, my lady, are badass! Oh, and don’t forget to request WAGON WHEEL!!!!!

To everyone who has a dream…GO AFTER IT!!! Yes, it is one scary ride that will constantly knock you down along the way, but everyone deserves to have the feeling I had when I hit publish on this bad boy! I never thought it was possible to get my words out there for readers to see and look at me now!? If I can do it, anybody can! Just remember…If you fall down seven times, stand up eight! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
