I know you all hate me right now. It’s okay. I was expecting it. While I love to write cliffhangers, I hate leaving you waiting. I just want to let you know that you won’t have to wait long.
Irrefutable
, the conclusion to Quinn and Alex’s story, will be released April 29, 2016. I promise you, you’ll have the rest of this story sooner rather than later.

Wow! Quinn and Alex. This book was never actually supposed to happen. Quinn and Alex were just supposed to be the awesome best friends of Ashley and Tanner. Then you guys started to tell me that you wanted to hear more of their story and the ideas started forming and these characters started speaking to me, wanting to be heard.

Quinn is one messed up chick. I know most of you probably don’t like her and what she did to Alex. She’s damaged. The world around her forcing her to believe things that aren’t necessarily true. While, yes, the people that have formed Quinn’s misperception exist in real life, there’s much more out there that she hasn’t seen. Even with true love all around her, she still has her doubts. She’s flawed, but aren’t we all?

And Alex, my poor, poor, Alex. He’s amazing. I hoped you loved him. He loves Quinn despite everything that’s transpired between them. He loves her despite her flaws. Isn’t that what we all want in life? Someone to love the real us? Alex is my definition of the perfect partner. He knows how to pick Quinn up when she’s down, give the space she needs to accept things, and loves unconditionally. I just hope that he can get his girl back before it’s too late.

But enough of that, on to the many thank yous…

My hubby…
Your unwavering support is the most wonderful gift in the world. Sometimes I can get so wrapped in these stories that I complete forget the world around me. You never complain. Not when the laundry doesn’t get done, not when we’ve had takeout five nights in a row because I can’t stop working to cook. Not when my brain’s fried and I want to throw in the towel. You just tell me it’s okay and I can do it. You listen to me prattle on about fictional characters like they’re in the room with us with a smile. I love you!

My children…
Thank you so much for being so understanding about mommy’s ‘working.’ Thank you for asking about my books and how many there are and congratulating me they’re finished. I love you guys and everything I do is for you, even if it may not seem like it.

Tiffany…
My slutty, dick-loving, country bumpkin! God, are there even words to express my gratitude for you, your work, and your loyal friendship? Thank you for EVERY single thing you have done for me. I push and push and you always come through, surpassing my expectations with a smile on your face. Even when I decided to make you bi-sexual, you took it with a smile realizing that in fact a hot sex scene with you and Alex was never going to happen. Thank you for your friendship. True friends are hard to find, especially the ones who would literally give you the shirt off their back. I love you, twat-suck!

Dessuré…
I really have no idea how the hell I got you as my PA, but thank the Lord! You keep me in line. I may groan when your texts of “You better be writing” come through but it’s only because you’re fantastic at what you do. We both know that my ADD keeps me all over the place and without you, I’d be a giant clusterfuck!! Thank you and I love you! It’s going to be a great year!

Isabelle…
I hit the motherfucking jackpot with you! Even with your already overflowing plate, you find a way to be there whenever I need you. Whether I need a shoulder to cry on, a voice of reason, or someone to tell me I’m wrong, you’re my girl! I honestly have no idea what the hell I would do without you. Thank you so much for being my sounding board, my google, my biggest cheerleader. Thank you for the late night phone calls that I know take you away from your own project. You truly are one of the most amazing people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Lisa….
Holy shit! I’m so glad that I made the decision to work with you. I handed you a shitty manuscript and you sent it back to me with a note basically telling me I needed to pull my head out of my ass and write some shit that was actually good past hot sex. You pushed and pushed and pushed some more even when I didn’t think there was anywhere left to go. You understood my ideas and my characters and helped me to make them even better. Guess what? You’re stuck with me for now. You’re the editor from hell in the very best way and I fucking love it!

Leslie and Sandy…
Thank you so much for being some kick-ass proof readers!! You girls rock and what you do for is greatly appreciated!! You both know how much I love to leave words out of my sentences! Mwah!

Trish Mint…
Thanking you so much for taking the time to help me with NYC geography!! You were a total lifesaver! Holla!!

Bloggers and Readers….
Thank you for your support. Thank you for posting about my books. Thank you so much for taking a chance on a no-name author who you knew crap about! Thank you for joking with me, chatting with me, and hanging out at events with me. I met some really great people this year and I just want to say thank you! It’s because of you I’m putting out my fourth book!

I’m so sorry if I forgot anyone, but please don’t think you’re unappreciated. My brain is a little fried right now. It’s midnight and all I can think about is the next journey I get to take on!!

XoXo
