First, I have to thank my husband because
this book wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for a simple conversation we had
one night. You are my sounding board and biggest supporter. I love you. I thank
God for you and for allowing me to pursue this dream.
This book was made possible by the letter
“K” Kayla who kept me on track and the letter “D” for the Dunn Bros. people who
kept food in my stomach. It takes a team, people!
My betas – Lisa, Erin, and Blue
– your encouragement, suggestions, and notes made me laugh and meant more
than I can tell you. Goose, I miss you and I’m so ready for you to get back to
the world of the writing. Kari Gardner, thank you for fixing me and making sure
I didn’t break anything unnecessarily.
To my group of funny, inspiring,
talented, and honest women. Claire Riley, A. Meredith Walters, Amy Queau, and
Stacey Lynn, I appreciate all of you and the way you helped make this book a
reality. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to help me when I need
it most. Kelsie Leverich, I miss your adorable face and Brittainy Cherry, I’m
amazed at what you’ve accomplished.
Thank you to my wonderful editor Amy Jackson
because you’re simply the best. (And now I’m singing.) And to Penny Reid
because she is so supportive and helpful…did I mention smart? Because she’s
crazy smart. And a special thank you to Kim Greny and Chew Brown, two of my
dearest friends who are there for me when I need them. I love you both.
I am blessed to have the Tenacious Ten
that supports me in so many ways. My mom and dad not only encourage my stories,
but also read them. My sister is the first librarian to put any of my books in
their system (It means the world to me.) My niece Joey is ready for another
Barmy book and my nephew Mr. Man is waiting for me to write something he might
like. A big HUGE thank you to all of my family.
Finally, to Peese and Gidget, my
wonderful daughters who schedule time to let me write and make sure that I stay
on task. I love you both so much that my heart might burst. I hope to make you
proud.
T.K. Rapp is a Texas girl born and raised. She
earned a B.A. in Journalism from Texas A&M and it was there that she met
the love of her life. He had a contract with the U.S. Navy that would take them
across both coasts, and ultimately land them back home in Texas.
Upon finally settling in Texas, T.K. worked as a
graphic designer and photographer for the family business that her mom started
years earlier. She was able to infuse her creativity and passion, into
something she enjoyed, but something was still missing. There was a voice in
the back of her head that told her to write, so write, she did. And, somewhere
on an external hard drive, are several stories she started and never finished.
Now at home, raising her two daughters, T.K. has
more time to do the things she loves, which includes photography and writing.
When she’s not doing one of those, she can be found with her family, which
keeps her busy. She enjoys watching her kids in their various sporting
activities (i.e. doing the soccer mom thing), having Sunday breakfast at her
parent’s house, singing out loud and out of key or dancing like a fool. She loves
raunchy humor, gossip blogs and a good book.
