Acknowledgements
First and Foremost, I would like to
thank one of my closest friends and editor, Janie Hall. You have been with me
from the start of this book, and you helped me every step of the way. Editing
was just a small part of the ways that you helped me.- and you stuck by me
through late nights, my stubbornness and
about twenty different revisions.
Everyone should have at least one friend like Janie. If you don’t, go
get yourself one. I highly recommend it.
I would also like to thank Attila Nagy
for being another one of my closest friends and for helping me whenever I was
stuck. You are also an excellent voice of reason during disputes about wording.
Everyone should also have a friend like Attila- and if you do, you should play
guess a person with him. It’s a lot of fun.
Thank-you also to Kate Mollohan who has
infinite knowledge in several subjects, including editing. I never realized how
much your multiple degrees would actually help me. And I appreciate you
spending three and a half hours drinking coffee with me and talking about my
book.
(On a side note, I would also
like to thank Harvest Moon for letting us stay for three and a half hours while
drinking coffee.)
For my college roommates Holly and Lynn,
thanks for making my college experience so much fun. It’s easy to write about
awesome friends when you have direct experience.
And Holly and I are sorry for all the
trouble we caused, Lynn.
To my friends who encouraged me while I
wrote my book, Robin Burris, Karen Kill and Tiffany Sunderland. You guys made
me feel like I could do it.
Thanks to my mom and dad. You guys made
me who I am today. I owe a lot to you. And thanks to Carol Wilcox and Greg
Morgan for being part of our family.
For Gayle Degennaro, Marc Maddox and
Kerri Rodenbaugh, you are the best sibs a person could ask for. Thanks for
always being there. I couldn’t imagine my life without you.
And thank you to the rest of my family.
You guys are all awesome, and I am happy to have you in my life.
And most importantly, thank you to my
husband Kevin. You changed my life when I met you., and I feel blessed to be
married to you. I promised him that I would give him ownership of two percent
of the book, for all the times I forgot a word, and he knew which one I was
trying to think of. And to my kids- Sophie, Abbie and Jack. You are the reason
I wrote this book. You are amazing kids, and I want you to know that hard work
is always worth it. You are going to do great things in life. Now that my book
is done, you might even get a chance to use the computer again soon!
I wish I could thank everyone I know, because you have all
helped me in some way. If I had more room I would. Maybe next book!
