Sugar Coated (28 page)

Acknowledgements

I’ve got to admit, this book never would have been written if The Husband and his brother Joe didn’t insist on getting together for every Superbowl in Idaho. Without that three hour car ride home, I wouldn’t have filled the edges of a phonebook with the plot for all three books as The Husband and I bounced ideas off of e
ach other. So thank you sports…even though I don’t like you very much most of the time. And thank you Camp family, for giving us a reason to drive three hours in the dark Idaho wilderness.

Jared, Danni, Amber, Andrea, Bremen, and Rachel need a huge thank you for reading this book when it still had it awful original title and was filled with typos and things that defied the laws of physics… in a bad way. Not in a creative way (which reminds me, thanks Bremen, for explaining to me how wind draft
works…that would have been embarrassing).

A big thank you to my family and friends for putting up with me constantly complaining about a certain infamous sugar cube in the literary world and for assuring me it’s not that big of a deal.

A ginormous amount of love to my publisher and lit family for their amazingness. I can’t even believe how wonderful you guys all are and I couldn’t have made up a better lit family if I tried. One house united!

Cindy Bennett, Jackie Hicken, Jolene Perry, and Heather Pead. You are my book people. That’s really all I can say on that matter. I’ll never be able to thank you guys enough for your support, and every book I write, gets out into this world because of the help you give me.

Mom and Dad, thanks for raising a reader and buying me the 10,000 Goosebumps books I just unpacked from a box.

And of course, I always have to thank my Heavenly Father for blessing me with a love of writing, without it I wouldn’t be in the best profession ever.

Husband. You are so mint.
