Acknowledgments
What a long, strange trip we’ve had!
This book was birthed during NaNoWriMo at the Savvy Authors/ Entangled Publishing Bootcamp Smackdown in 2012, and everyone who participated deserves a hand—especially my team, the other Dangerous Divas: Cathy Perkins, Greta Gunselman, Anne Lange, and Camele Warren.
I want to thank Stephen Morgan and Rochelle French for working sooooo patiently with me and whipping this awkward little manuscript into something to celebrate (We finally finished it! YES!). Thanks also to Terese, Nina…all the Ignite people, and everyone at Entangled. What an amazing group. Liz, you make the best Kool-Aid, I can’t stop drinking it.
Thanks to my agent, Nicole Resciniti for all the handholding, cheerleading, and guidance as I navigate this crazy business—and to Mary Sue and the Seymour Sibs: We totally rock! Jessica Lemmon, special thanks for hooking me up. The James Taylor you-know-what cloth is your reward.
Mary Baumhoer and Dawn Alexander—you guys kept telling me not to give up. I didn’t. Neither should you.
All of my former science teachers, lab coworkers, and research mentors (especially Sarah) deserve a shout-out. Being a Science Geek is the coolest job ever. Okay, maybe being a Science Geek who is also a romance writer is REALLY the coolest.
Mom and Dad: I think it’s actually happening! Thanks for believing in me. Mary and John: Next stop, the endcap at Krogers.
And to my favorite husband and the best three kids I ever had: I love you all. Thanks for surviving on take-out and learning to do your own laundry.
