The Seduction of Kinley Foster (What Happens in Vegas) (22 page)

Acknowledgments

Mark Twain once said, “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.” I’d like to thank my incredible mentor, Margie Lawson, and my brilliant editor, Vanessa Mitchell, for helping me to cross out the wrong words and fill in the void with the right words.

Thank you to everyone at Entangled Publishing for breathing life into this book. It takes a village to get a book to market. I’m glad all of you are in my village.

A special thank you to author, Megan Ryder, for posting on Facebook about an opportunity to be one of the authors chosen to write a book as part of Entangled Publishing’s
What Happens in Vegas
continuity series. Her post started my journey to writing this book. And I’d like to thank Liz Pelletier for choosing me to be one of the authors for this series. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you to Connie W. who invited me to a Passion Parties event. An event that sparked my imagination for this story.

A huge thank you to my family for believing in me and for making excuses for me when I failed to show up at functions because I was too busy writing. I love you all to the moon and back.

I’d like to thank my agent, Tish Beaty, for validating me as a writer the day she took me on as one of her select few authors.

And most of all, thank
you
, for purchasing this book. I hope you fall in love with my characters as much as I did.
