ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is 
Pieces of Perfect
, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin). They are currently writing the sequel to
Pieces of Perfect
, which is expected to be released in the spring/summer of 2014
.
"Elizabeth" lives with her husband, one and a half year old daughter, and nutjob of a dog. “Hayley” lives with her husband and their own crazy dog. They are hoping to adopt a newborn soon.

Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Our husbands: Thank you for putting up with us. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. Thank you for believing in us and for encouraging us to “do what we do.” Special shout-out to “Hayley’s” husband Nick (“The Real Elizabeth Hayley” lol): We can’t thank you enough for promoting our books when we didn’t.

Fans/Readers: Thank you for your support, for all of your suggestions, and for giving us a reason to keep pursuing our dream.

Raina: The cover is badass and sexy! Thanks for taking an abstract idea and making it real.

To all the bloggers and other authors who've helped us out, you all are simply the best. Thanks for spreading the word and getting our work out there to readers (since we are evidently challenged in that regard).

Trish, you smut-loving bitch . . . what would we do without you? You told us which scenes were hot, what parts of the book needed work, and you assured us that Amanda is a relatable and likable character.

Alison Bliss: Thanks for showing us the way. Yoda you are. You're definitely the best Texan in Indiana! When are you coming to Philly so we can hang out, by the way?

Melissa:
Thank you all of your marketing advice, for pimping us as much as you can, and for believing that our books are good enough to actually sell.
Beta Readers: Lauren, Brenda, Jessica, and Sim: Thanks for taking time out of your lives to help us make our book better. Your damn near immediate feedback and thorough critique were exactly what we needed. You girls are the best! Hope you’re all gearing up to beta read our next one.
“Elizabeth”: Thank you for joining CrossFit and getting some inspiration for this book. Thank you for being the first one to write a scene and for making me laugh so freakin’ hard when I read it for the first time. You created Amanda! Writing together has brought us so much closer. You always know exactly what to say and how to say it—in life and in writing. You are my twin (if I were blonde and about five inches taller.) ~ “Hayley”

“Hayley”: For once, I don’t think I can find the words to express myself. But I’ll try anyway. Thank you for writing with me. Thank you for helping me reach goals and dreams I would have never have accomplished alone. Thank you for being there for me in every way. Thank you for being my soul sister in writing. But mostly, thank you for being you. ~ “Elizabeth”
