First and foremost, I want to thank my Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with a creative mind to even come up with this story in the first place.
Thank you to my husband and children who have had to endure countless hours of mommy being on the computer and talking about her “crazy characters that are in her head”. I love you all more than life itself and thank you for believing in me.
To my IndiePendents girls, thank you for your friendships, your honesty and all the support you have given me. I have dedicated this book to each one of you because I felt like you all were with me the entire way. Spork friends for life!

To all my readers, thank you so very much for making my dream a reality. If it weren’t for you reading my story, I wouldn’t be a writer. Thank you for your loyalty, feedback and support! I cannot wait to bring you more of the characters that are floating around in my head.
