Authors: Cherie Colyer
Acknowledgments
I am very grateful for the following people:
Colleen Keough Wagner, my amazing editor, whose insight, expertise and direction were essential in molding this book.
Omnific for this opportunity and to Kayla Watson, Kathy Teel, and the publishing team for all they did to help launch Embrace.
My wonderful family. Dad and Mom for believing in me and for never once telling me to get my head out of the clouds when I was growing up. Vince for being the spark in my inspiration and for letting me bounce ideas off of you at all hours of the day and night; I would have never made it this far without you. Kyle, Cory, William and Ethan because, without you, my life just wouldn’t be the same and because I know there were times I didn’t cook so I could write and you never once complained. And to Pam for your invaluable support and advice.
My talented critique groups who always pushed me to write the best story I could and never settled for less. Kym Brunner, Katie Sparks, Sarah Barthel, Trina Sotira, Lisa Bierman, Pippa Bayliss, Michelle Sussman, and my Schaumburg group who are too many to list. Finally, my writing coach, Esther Hershenhorn, whose guidance and wisdom helped me improve my craft.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
