Villainess (30 page)

Boy, my acknowledgements are super redundant. *lesigh * But just because I write practically the same thing in all of them doesn’t mean I love or appreciate anyone any less than authors with kick ass acknowledgements. It just means that by the time I finish a book my creativity is temporarily spent. Apparently that includes thinking up unique things to say here.  Sooo… without farther ado…

This is the part where I get to thank all the people who made this book possible. I really hope I don’t leave out someone important. I know I say something similar in all of my acknowledgements, but Holy Cow, Batman! The thought of forgetting to thank someone important is SUPER stressful. It’s like when your mind goes blank when trying to take an important test. *pulls the covers over my head* But here I go anyways…as usual… EEP!

First I’d like to thank my amazing Hubby, who is supportive and patient beyond the realm of what I imagine any normal man is . . . dah dah da duuuh . . . Super Hubby! (Copy and paste! I’m just going to put that in every book because it makes him smile.)

Next I would like to thank my parents for encouraging my love of reading and crazy imagination during my most impressionable years. Carnegie Library rocks! (Again...copy and paste! Lol)

Then of course there’s my kick ass beta readers for Villainess: (Well actually, this time around, it was beta reader, singular. There were extenuating circumstances with timing…)

!!! Thank you so for taking the time to read another of my books so quickly! It really humbles me how awesome you are to me! Love you!

Of course I need to thank Lindsay Tiry for her amazing cover design! She always goes above and beyond for me and puts up with all of my ‘notes’. Anyone who doesn’t know what that means...consider yourself lucky. Ha!

An extra big thank you to Cora-Tiana for letting me use their original piece of artwork ‘Lunar Mistery’ in the cover design for the Villainess cover. It’s so absolutely perfect for the book…it kind of makes me want to cry.

Let’s not forget Amy from The Eyes For Editing! She made all the prettiness possible that’s happening within these pages.

I’d like to give an extra special thanks to Ren Reidy for heading up the Tik Tok Press team, and for proofing Villainess. My books would probably disappear into the ether and have a ton of typos without you. And let’s not forget that your MS comments keep me entertained during one of the most boring parts of publishing.

I’d also like to give a gi-normous, super extra special thanks to Megan D. Martin for editing Villainess. And also for making me laugh with your MS comments, as per usual. One day I will not reference Superman in one of my books. Okay, we all know that’s a big fat lie. I’m obsessed.

And last but certainly not least: Thank you to all the book bloggers and fans who keep me going! I wouldn’t be anywhere if not for you guys! I love each and every one of you! Big Booky Hugs!
