Something More (26 page)

This has been a long, exciting journey and I’ve
enjoyed almost every single minute of it. I’ve learned a lot throughout this
experience and a lot about the indie book community.

First and foremost, I want to thank my family,
especially my oldest daughter. Without your insistent persistence to read the
Twilight series, I would not be the avid reader I am today. This leads me to MJ
Abraham who was my inspiration to start writing (I don’t think she knows this).
Thank you for opening my eyes to the indie book world, but mainly for your
encouragement, friendship, and help.

To Kim Young
(Kim’s Editing Services)
– Thank you for putting up with my whining and negativity.
Your patience is truly amazing. You’ve answered all of my stupid questions and
encouraged me throughout this whole experience. You have mad editing skills and
I look forward to working with you again…if you’ll have me.

To Robin Harper
(Wicked by Design)
– Putting up with all of my changes would’ve driven
anyone into an early grave. I know I was a pain in the ass and you took it all
in stride. You’re the best and I thank you for all that you’ve done for me!

To Michelle Fussell
– My dear, sweet Fussell. I love you more than words can say. You’ve tried to
keep me out of trouble. Although not always successful, you were always there
for me. Thank you for always being my friend. I can’t wait to sit on the beach
with you again and watch “Barry Gibb”.

To Lisa Sabin
–
We’ve known each other since the ripe ol’ age of 5. We’ve done some crazy
things, had our ups and downs, and you always seem to follow me around the
country. Near or far, we’ll be “blood sisters” forever.

To Elizabeth Eichelberger
– You’ve been keeping me laughing since junior high and never tire of my
endless bitching. You’re one of my biggest supporters. Keep pushing me and I’ll
keep pushing you. Thank you for everything. Good luck on your new endeavor.

To Laurelin Paige
– For all of your guidance and all of our chats, I thank you. You were one of
the first authors I talked to and you’ve been so kind to me when you could’ve
blown me off. Now, it is my life’s mission to break your ice. I’m happy to call
you my friend.

To Trish Baylor
– My twin from another gen. Words cannot express how happy I am that we met or
how much I LOURVE YOU. We support each other, probably not in the healthiest of
ways, but it’s our way…and we’re funny. *pound it* I wish you every happiness
and success. Phern derd. Terlet.

To Angie McLain
– Oh, Ang. I love you and your crazy muppet arms. Thank you for all you do for
me and with me. You’ve become a great friend and, one day, we will cause some
trouble somewhere (hopefully not attracting sharks).

To all of my betas
– Mia Michelle, Melissa Gill, Joni Clines (kinda), Elizabeth Eichelberger,
Angie McLain, and Lisa Sabin. Thank you for your time, encouragement and, most
importantly, your friendship. I love you all to pieces.

To
all
of the bloggers –
So
many of you have made this endeavor incredible for me,
especially Joni and
Meli at Feisty Girls Book Blog, Angie at Fan Girl Book Blog, and Tyeesha Webb
at Momma’s Secret Book Obsession. You’ve all supported me, promoted me when I
had nothing to promote, and helped me out along the way. It’s been a long and
winding road, and I’m glad you were on this trip with me. You all are rock
stars! Mwah!

To the friends, authors, & bloggers
I’ve met on this amazing trek— Trish, Mia, Joni, Meli, Angie, Kym, Jenny Roush,
Laurelin Paige, TA Anderson, Riley Rhea, KS Smith, Nola Lightman, TK Rapp, and
Sexxa Kohl. I consider you my friends and, kind of, my sisters. You all have a
special place in my heart.

To the readers
,
I thank you for taking a chance on me and my work. I’ve truly enjoyed every
step of this adventure with you, even though I was scared shitless half of the
time. I’m so happy that you helped make it all happen. Thank you for supporting
the indie community the way that you do. Without you, there would be no us.

To anyone I may have missed, and I’m sure I did and
I’m sorry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This book started out as something totally different
and morphed into what it is. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed
writing it. I wish you luck in finding your Something More.

Jenna
Tyler was born and raised in South/Central Florida. Currently residing in
Texas, she loves spending time with her fur-baby, Roxy…and sometimes her kids
(when they behave).  She enjoyed writing poems as a teenager, but didn’t become
an avid reader until…Twilight. She became obsessed and her passion for reading
led to stories and characters nagging at her. Then a friend suggested she write
it out and is now releasing her debut novel.
