Karras Jordan & Ariel Meredith – You two have been amazingly generous with allowing us to use your images to give the readers visuals of Stenton and Zoey. Thanks for letting me doctor up your professional shoots as well as your selfies on social network. It took the fun out of stalking because I had permission, but it took my imagination to another level when I was able to coordinate them with the story line. I so appreciate your talents. You two specifically are skilled with your range of images. Because of the timeline of this story, I was able to go through your pictures and select Stenton and Zoey at their respective ages, and still have more to choose from. Phenomenal!
Love’s Betas – Angela Jennings, Yorubia McNeil, Corinne Baker, and Juaquanna Gaines-Sams. I appreciate you guys’ feedback and your time! Shumethia Seal, thanks sooooooooo much for tolerating my literary babble. I appreciate the research you did to help bring these characters (you hate) to life. You are an awesome individual! Sabrina S. Scott, your nurturing tone and zeal has been felt and greatly appreciated. You took this baby and made it your own. I hope to continue to hold your interest. Christina C. Jones, OMG, Love officially has an author-buddy…or bae (insider)! I appreciate you being a sounding board for all my frustrations of this indie world. Thanks for the feedback, enthusiasm, confidence, professionalism, genius, and your friendship.

Juaquanna Gaines-Sams: Thanks for all of your coordination efforts, your consultation on the cover and the marketing of all the LB projects. Thanks for your brutal honesty as well! You’re the bomb! Hopefully we’re one project closer to me getting an assistant. Teehee!
MDT: You’ve yelled, kicked and screamed about this timeline, but we delivered. Thanks for your guidance…and money to roll out my second project. LOL! And another one!
To my Master, my Jireh, my Rohi, 1 Peter 4:10. I bless You for the opportunity to share my gift. May You receive ALL the glory.
