Going Nowhere (27 page)

“I love you too, Crazy.”

“Oh my God!” Emily wailed so loudly it brought us out of our little bubble. “That’s so fucking romantic! I love you guys!” She attacked us both and smothered both our faces with snot kisses. 

Mikey began dancing around us whooping and hollering about grand gestures. I laughed and looked back at Jason who was smiling down at me.

Sometimes going nowhere is the only option, but it doesn’t mean it’s a
final destination.

Sometimes it’s just a pit stop on the road to somewhere better.

Hey peeps!

First, let me say thank you so much for checking out Going Nowhere. This book…man, this book. To say it was a labor of love would be such an understatement. I began writing GN after I graduated college as an outlet for all the frustration, depression, and boredom I was experiencing. Her story went through many transformations while I was writing and when I finished, I realized that it was more of an introduction into the Scott family.

So what does this mean for y’all? If you’ve read this far and happened to like GN (to which I would like to say, “You like it? Seriously? Are you ok with being loved by a stranger? Cause I love you. Like a lot.”) then you’ll be happy to know that Going Forward is up next and it will be featuring…Emily! Buckle up kiddos, we’re going back in time and the Emily you will meet is loads different then the Emily we know now!

Thank you so much for taking a chance on Marisol and me. She can be a pain in the ass, trust me I know! Check me out on Twitter and Facebook! I’d love to hear from you!

           Happy Reading!

I would like to thank all my beta readers: you guys rock! You didn’t have to take the time to get to know my characters, but I’m glad you did! Thanks for listening to me ramble or reading my epic poems aka emails, I appreciate all of you!

To Nadia - you edited, listened, argued, cared and pushed this book and me. You’re ear, brain, and support are invaluable. My fellow book junkie, Page Trotter, and bestie: I heart the shit out of you!

AJ Sand! Thank you for being my writing buddy! Our four-hour convo’s about our annoying characters and all other awesome writing nonsense (i.e.-sex and dudes and more sex and even more dudes) made my weeks. I love you, lady!

To my parents - you guys gave me time and that is the best thing
you have ever given me. You supported my decision to take the harder route and refused to let me wallow in yoga pants for more than a day. You made me eat and shower while Marisol and I went through these growing pains so thanks!

To my siblings - you are nuts and weird and I love the shit out of you.

To my nieces and nephews - you are all embodied by Mikey; I hope I did you hooligan’s justice.

To every author who answered my questions about the self-pub world, you are all goddesses and I worship you. Keep on and write strong!

Dearest bloggers and reviewers - I started as one of you. You rule the self-pub world so to everyone single one of you that read this and reviewed it (good or bad) I want to thank you for taking a chance. Your time means the world and even though you do this for free, your impact has more value than what can be measured monetarily (although that would be awesome LOL).

Finally, but definitely not least, my friends. You guys were my rocks and I don’t know what I would do without my GA and FL peeps. When I was going nuts you slapped me with reality and told me to “calm my tits and just write. It. Out.” So thank you and I love you and you will all be characters at some point.
Don’t be scared…or maybe do! Muahaha!

K.M. Galvin grew up in the South with Yankee parents, which made for a very confusing accent. She loves music, books, blogging, Game of Thrones and coffee. Going Nowhere is her first book.
