More Than Us (9 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Saying good-bye to a beloved couple is always bittersweet, and it is no different with Evelyn and Foster. I struggled with this portion of their story for some time, unable to let them go. It might have been selfish of me as an author, but I wasn’t ready for that final farewell.

I want to, first and foremost, thank you, dear reader, for your patience with me while I completed my journey with them first. I hope it was worth the wait.

Thank you to the Renee Ericson Reader Group, for your continued support over the past year with my struggles and for loving this couple unconditionally. Your constant understanding is appreciated.

Thank you MJ, Jamie, Jo, and Renee, for taking the time to read through the last chapter of this couple’s literary lives and for your feedback as the story unfolded.

As always, thank you to my husband, who is the test subject for much of my sarcasm, a great support in this life as an always struggling writer, my best friend, and my other half.

To Bear, my constant companion, who sits at my side, even now.

And, finally, to chemistry—Without you, there would be no life and no love.
