Finishing this book is bittersweet. It’s my 10th book since my first was published in September 2013 (if I count my novella which I do because that fucker was a bitch to write - I’m sticking to full length novels from now on). That’s double digits. So weird. I’m completely blown away and thankful that enough people appreciate my dirty mind and romantic heart enough to help me reach this point. I can’t even really say how much that means to me.

And as Book 5 of the Copperline, it's the end of my Mofos (well, they may still pop up from time to time) which kinda makes me sad. I have loved writing these guys. I honestly never intended it to go past the first book. Post Breakup Sex came to me as I listened to a song by the same name. It grew, and these guys took shape. Their camaraderie and interaction and Bangin’ Mofoness just overwhelmed my thoughts. At this point, they have fueled my passion and enticed my imagination for almost two years. I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to move on without “You’re fired” or “Speak English, you fucker” or "jaysus bleedin' ting" or “I don’t fuck students.”

Thank you to everyone out there who has fallen in love with them like me. Thanks to all the private messages and Facebook posts, the Amazon reviews and the tweets. The fan pics and the constant “OMG, I love him!” type shit. I’m so glad you don’t think my stories suck. Special shout out to my Flannel Squad girls around the world. You guys are the shit! I know I don’t tell you nearly often enough, but I appreciate you guys so very much every day.

Thanks to Mr. Siby and my offspring (and I’d like to clarify for Mr. Siby’s sake that NONE of the man-love in Justin’s book is in any way inspired by him - you’re welcome honey). Thanks to my mom and dad and aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters and my very very VERY extended family (we are a bit complicated on paper, but it all works somehow) who give me an incredible amount of support in so many ways.

Thanks to my amazing editors Nicole (who has totally laid claim to Justin, btw) and Diane (and even Keriann who found a few sneaky little typos) for reading and rereading and rerereading to look for shit like “is is” and “the the” and all those things that I just flat don’t even see after a while. You guys do a TON to help make my stuff look good, and I appreciate you way more than I can ever say.

Thanks to my beta readers Tara, Zolie, and Erica and my alpha readers Shell, Beth, Terri, and Cyndi. You guys helped me form this story when I was seriously fucking terrified. I knew Justin had to be on point, and I could have never in a million years done this without you. And, oh em gee - Terri told me to add sex. I’m still shocked by this. Not so shocking that Cyndi did, though. LOL.

Thanks to Olivia for letting me know that even amazing authors like her still have the same fears and worries that I do and for not making me walk to the airport when I accidentally called her Challenger a Charger. As a muscle car lover, I truly realize the extent of that faux pas.
