In addition to authors, I could not have survived this process without the love and support and friendship of some AH-MAZING bloggers, reviewers, and readers. I am grateful to each and every one of you who have helped promote my books by beta reading, participating in cover reveals, tours, giveaways, release day blitzes, posting reviews, and all the zillions of other things I’ve asked of you. Gutter Girls Book Reviews, My Secret Romance Book Review blog, Group Therapy Book Club, SMI Book Club, The Autumn Review, Romance Book Addict, Book Addict Mumma, Smitten’s Book Blog, The Indie Bookshelf, Hardcover Therapy, Read This Hear That, Ginger Reads, Reality Bites! Let’s Get Lost!, Holly’s Hot Reads, GloBug and Hootie, Lovin Los Libros, The Blushing Reader, The Geekery Book Review, Seeking Book Boyfriends, Stuck in Books… I could literally go on forever probably. To those of you who took a chance on some chick in Alabama and read
Girl with Guitar
and then contacted me to say you enjoyed it, I could kiss your faces. If I see you at a signing event, it’s likely that I will. You are the reason that Kylie and Trace’s story continued. So THANK YOU!
My street team, who share a name with Kylie’s band, is made up of 50 of the coolest chicks I know. I couldn’t even pay them enough for all of the wonderful things they do to support me. And they do it for free! To each and every one of my Backwoods Belles, y’all are my heart. Thank you for always being there and for your endless love and devotion. There aren’t words to express my gratitude. I love you to the moon and back.
I am fortunate enough to be an InkSlinger client and to get to work with my publicist Jessica Estep who understands that my crazy ideas will come at around two a.m. and will respond to emails night and day.
Thank you Erin Kelly for the amazing book trailers that you put together from all of my ramblings.
As most of y’all know, this series recently got a makeover thanks to the lovely and talented Lauren Perry of L. Perry Designs and cover models Teale Murdock (who I swear is actually Kylie Ryans) and Ghent Scott who is not only a smoking hot Trace but a firefighter in real life. Getting to meet and work with all three of them literally made my life complete. Watching my characters come to life is an experience I will never forget and will cherish for as long as I live.
I am so thankful for the county music community and all of the patient people who answered my questions. You are all rock stars to me and I am forever grateful.
Thank you to each of you who came to the Read Like A Country Girl event in Nashville. I hope I get to see each of you again at events this year!
Thank you ladies who orchestrated and participated in the Kylie Ryans Read Along event on Facebook. You made the weeks leading up to the release of this book much more fun and much less stressful than it normally would’ve been.
Big smothery hugs to every single person who sent me a “When will Girl in Love be available?” message online. You were my motivation and inspiration to keep going and get this book out into the world.
And lastly, thank you, yes,
you
reading this right now, for making it through my blubbering on and on about the people I love. I am thankful for you, thankful that you take the time to read my words and allow my characters into your life.
If you follow me on Spotify, you can find the soundtrack lists for each of the Kylie Ryans novels. They will also be on my website. I am currently working with my real life inspiration for Steven on getting some of the original songs that appear in the Kylie Ryans novels recorded and hope to make those available to you soon.
Music is such a huge part of this series, and a huge part of who I am, but I don’t know how to thank music, so instead, I will thank those people who support musicians of all kinds. Parents, teachers, venue owners, producers, managers, interns.
We all have a song, a story, a book, inside of us. Play it loud. Never let your songs stop playing.
To anyone I forgot to mention, you are the ones I love the most, and probably take for granted. Please forgive me!
