Absolute Surrender (57 page)

To my assistant, Kati Rodriguez, (you can’t have her) this book would probably still be shelved if you hadn’t pestered me. Contstantly. But with good intent. So if you love Twitchy, please tell Kati thank you as well. I couldn’t do half the things I do if she didn’t control the chaos that is sometimes in my head.

THANK YOU.

You always believed, and there would be no book without you.

Copy editor: Joyce Lamb

Hair and makeup: Monika Graf, Cloud 9 Boulder (stunning work)

Delilah Marvelle: for giving me a beautiful set of brass balls.

Derek Hutchins: very important insight into a touchy subject.

Tiffany Riesz: explaining the difference between a threesome and a ménage. (It’s an important distinction)

Vertical assist: Elizabeth Haysmont’s scaffolding (many thanks)

Additional Props: Alisa Mokler Harper the amazing (yes, that’s her legal name)

Early critique: Kristin Anders, The Romantic Editor

Becky Stine: You bestowed my hero with a beautiful name (even if copyedits were annoying)

Pamela Clare, Elise Rome, Melinda Piñon, Tammy Myers-Clarke, Kati Rodriguez, Maíre Claremont, Delilah Marvelle, Tina Dowds, Tilly Greene; your feedback, proofreading, nudging and love for #Twitchy was invaluable.

My lunch ladies (yeah, we need a better nickname for that) Pamela, Teddy, Courtney, Ashley, Hillary, Libby (Maíre we miss you!) for so much support and spirit.

Ann S. Brady, LPC, your willingness to read my novel and diagnose my lovely Twitchy was of paramount importance to my ensuring I respected her illness (for lack of a better term) and her beauty.

Thank you.
