, holy crap. Three novels, two novellas, and I’m still going. I don’t know how it’s even possible. Wait, scratch that, I do know. It’s because of all these weird, wonderful, amazing, twisted people who believe in me.

When I wrote
Tied Together
, I didn’t know what to expect. I was walking into a genre that I loved and felt passionate about. But I jumped into the deep end, held my breath, and waited. To my surprise, people embraced my boys. They invited them into their heads, their hearts, and into their funny bone. No matter what happens in the future, Ryan and Brandon will forever hold a special place in my heart.

It was because of the fans of
Tied Together
that I decided to write a follow up novella. I was content on ending the story with Ethan’s birth, but then I thought about it and wanted people to take a peek into their marriage. The good, the bad, and the crazy. I’m glad I did because I know as a reader, I always wonder what happens after the happily ever after.

I want to thank my editing team at
The Write Divas
. I’m just a storyteller, but they help make the magic happen. Thank you to Amy Queau for another awesome cover. All I have to do is explain my idea and then BOOM there’s a cover.

To all the bloggers who read, shared, and spread the word about
Tied Together
and now
Tied in Knots
, thank you for taking a chance on a silly girl with a story to tell. Hopefully you didn’t regret it… too much.

Thank you to my friend Emily Patrick for taking the time to help me with Quinn’s medical condition. To Jennifer Hajdics for having eyes in front, back, and side of her head for me. Plus for supplying me with my daily
inspiration
.

To all the beta readers, for taking the time to fit a little more Brandon and Ryan into your lives.

And finally, to my husband and son. I’ve come out of the writing cave! Group hug before I go back in there.

About the Author

A
s a little girl
it was always a dream for Z.B. Heller to become She-Ra Princess of Power. Since this dream was unobtainable, she spent what was probably way to long in college trying to "find herself". Becoming an artist scratched the creative itch until the stories in her head were getting to be to loud for her to get anything else accomplished. She lives in St. Louis with her husband, son and Flemish Giant rabbit Chloe. In her spare time she likes to read, stalk celebrities on Twitter and create the type of art that people scratch their heads about.
