This
is going to be a mini novella, so settle back while I thank everyone.

First,
I want to thank my hubby for putting up with me working fourteen hour days on
this book and talking nothing but Q this, Q that. Q, Q, Q. He really is a
saint.

Next,
I want to thank the amazing Beta Readers who read Tears of Tess in all its
misspelled glory. Skye Callahan—you were the very first, and my God, I’m sorry
for putting you through that. I couldn’t imagine writing every day without you
on my FB page.

Ing
from As The Pages Turn, Chelle Bliss, Monica Robinson, Blakely Bennett, Kyra
Lennon, Kelley Lynn, and Suzi Retzlaff. Thank you so much for your suggestions
and giving such encouragement and putting up with my endless *I suck moments*

A
huge thank you to Ari from Cover it! Designs. I couldn’t imagine any other
cover for Tears of Tess and I’m in love with Q’s cover! <3 I love our two
a.m. conversations about all things books.

I
want to thank the wonderful editors—TJ Loveless, Lindsey, and Robin for doing a
great job—hopefully we caught all those hidden errors

Thank
you to the amazing ladies who organised the promo for Tears of Tess: Ing from
As The Pages Turn—your generosity and support is priceless. Giselle from
Xpresso Book Tours, I’m so, so happy you were in charge of the crazy amount of
blogs that signed up
J
And, Laurynne from CBL Book Tours—you’re brilliant and thank you so much for
all your hard work.

Thank
you to Jenny from Totally Booked for answering all my questions about using
lyrics in a book (apparently you can’t—hence why I got my music writing hat on
and did it myself. But please see the playlist for songs that inspired.)

And
lastly, thank you to Black Firefly for handling all the publishing requirements
on this thing. You were a life-saver.
