Finding Serenity (39 page)
Authors: Eden Butler
To my personal Pimps: Ing Cruz, Sarah Leal and Alaina Keller, thank you for loving Declan and Vaughn and,
yes, Sarah,
Donovan so much. I could not do any of this without you or the fabulous reviewers and bloggers who have been willing to spread the word about my new titles: Maryse Black, Janna Mashburn (my hot RT date… heh), Laura Agra and all my NOLA girlies. Y’all rock!
To my Bints, especially Judy Lovely and Leighanne Sisk, thank you for lifting me up and making Cavanagh very, very real. That town is a love letter to you both. To Amanda Deadeaus Lanclos, Allyson Lavigne Wilson, Angie Dilmore, Karen Vradelis, Scott Wilbanks and Marie Anderson-Simmons, (lady, you are so awesome), and all my wonderful, amazing co-workers who like to embarrass me with requests for signed books and pictures (when I’m not wearing make-up) during the work day. I could never properly articulate what your support means to me.
Lauren Anderson and Lesley LeBlanc, I know your mom is hanging out with my dad upstairs, trading war stories over the things their daughters did to drive them crazy. I hope they both know how much they are loved and miss. I love you both!
To my sweet, funny, supportive niece Jennifer Jagneaux, thank you for all the “yays” and “squees” and for falling in love with that beautiful, fictional man who lives in my imagination and thank you, especially, for the bomb-est massages ever on the planet. Thanks also to my other nieces, cousins, siblings and friends who eagerly read and loved my books and to my mom, who made me happy cry on my birthday and who is the kind of lady I hope to be when I grow up.
To my girls who make the days brighter, who make my heart full, I love you and I’m one proud mama. I hope you reach for the stars and I hope you find the journey as beautiful as mine has been. To Chris, my lobster, my best friend, thank you for all the “research” and the years of never-ending laughter. I love you.
Finally, to my readers, thank you for believing in me and for telling me I don’t suck as much as I suspected. Your support is
fecking
amazing.
Eden Butler is an editor and writer of New Adult Romance, SciFi and Fantasy novels and the nine-time great-granddaughter of an honest-to-God English pirate. This could explain her affinity for rule breaking and rum.
When she’s not writing or wondering about her
possibly
Jack Sparrowesque ancestor, Eden writes, reads and spends too much time watching rugby, “Doctor Who” and New Orleans Saints football. Currently, she is imprisoned under teenage rule alongside her husband in Southeastern Louisiana
