T is for...he's a TOTAL jerk (Grover Beach Team #3) (30 page)

At this place,
I want to shout out my gratitude to a few people.

To all my
great readers for never letting me down. Your messages, your encouragement, and your friendships mean the world to me.

To my one and only
and absolutely awesome
critique partner, Georgia Lyn Hunter. I really wish we could meet one day, Lyn.

To my wonderful family for bearing with me in good and in bad times. I know it’s not easy to live with a writer. Honestly, I
do
know.

And special thanks to Melanie Scheitza for helping me to come up with a cool anthem for the Grover Beach Bay Sharks. You rock!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

PIPER SHELLY prefers blue to green, spring to winter, and writing to almost everything else. It helps her to escape from a boring world to something with actual adventure and romance in it, she says. Even when she’s not crafting a new story, you’ll see her lounging with a book in some quiet spot. She was 17 when she left Vienna to live in the tranquil countryside of Austria, and from there she loves to plan trips
with her family to anywhere in the world. Two of her favorite places? Disneyland and the deep dungeons of her creative mind.
