This Song Is (Not) for You (14 page)

This book would not have been conceived of without the help of Leah Hultenschmidt. Thank you, Leah, for believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself.

This book was bravely taken on by Annette Pollert-Morgan. Thank you, Annette, for all of your support.

Ali McDonald rescued my first novel from her slush pile and now she sends me encouraging emails and treats me like a rockstar. Ali, you are vital to my creative life.

My husband and our friends let me hang out and pretend to be a part of their band for two years. Those guys provided a lot of the inspiration for this novel, and you can check out their music at theicebergsband.com.

I’d like to thank all of the bands and musicians that are referenced in this book, just in case they ever stumble across this book or are watching us all from beyond the grave. Thanks for the music.

Most of all, I’d like to thank all of you for reading this book. You rock.

Laura Nowlin is also the author of
If He Had Been with Me
and many other future novels that she just hasn’t written yet, okay? You can contact her on Twitter, Tumblr, Goodreads, or Facebook if you should so desire.
