THIS STORY HAS BEEN ONE more ride. From the moment Beulah and Stone’s story came to me until I wrote the last sentence in the epilogue. I always love telling a story. This one was special. Just like a reader wants to find a moment to get lost in a book, I looked forward to the times I would sit at my computer and their story would unfold for me. It was a beautiful tale that will remain one of my favorites.
There are so many people that played a part in this trilogy’s creation, production and promotion.
The first person that reads what I write (and holds me accountable for word count on a daily basis) is Britt. Jack Britton Sullivan, my youngest child’s father, reads my words every morning when he wakes up. He not only helps me mold the story he also gives me ideas when I get stuck or unsure. This kind of support is priceless.
Next there is Amy Donnelly who works with my crazy unorganized last minute ways. She takes what I hand her and turns it around in record time to make it exactly what I wanted it to look like.
Christine Borgford also is a complete life saver. Her formatting is beautiful and she deals with my last minute requests and rushed deadlines. Never complaining and always giving me an amazing product.
This trilogy would not exist if Ian Wallace from iBooks hadn’t contacted me about writing iBooks an exclusive trilogy. The entire team at iBooks is incredible. They are there for support whenever I need them. I’ve loved every moment of this experience with them. Thank you iBooks!
Hang Le for the beautiful covers. Each one fits the story perfectly. She was a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the cover art for each book.
Danielle Lagasse, Vicci Kaighan and the rest of Abbi’s Army. These ladies are my ultimate support group. They amaze me daily. I love you all!
Kiki Chatfield who is incredible at what she does. Her marketing, organization and enthusiasm has helped get the Sweet Series in front of so many new readers.
Colleen Hoover and Kami Garcia for taking the time out of their incredibly busy lives to read and blurb Sweet Little Thing. Friends like them are hard to find. I’m truly grateful.
Monica Tucker-the world’s most patient personal assistant (aka life handler) on the planet. You have no idea how hard I am to get things from. I forget, I’m ADD, I am a hot mess. And she deals with it beautifully.
My kids-Austin, Annabelle, Ava and Emerson-who without them I would have no reason to do any of this. They inspire me, bring me joy, and complete my world. I love y’all.
