Vein of Love (Blackest Gold Book 1) (32 page)

“You’re going to destroy me, sweetheart,” Tensley muttered. “Unless I destroy you first.”

First and foremost, thank you to my friends and family so much for all the support and positivity. Especially to Breanne, Megan and Caley who were always there to listen to me ramble or rant on and on about this book. I love you all and appreciate everything you have done to support me.

Megan—you’ve read the book twice and were always ready to give me feedback on every single damn question I asked. Girl, you amazing.

Caley—you would sit through talking sessions of how plot point B didn’t work or stood up for Molly when readers sassed her.

And Breanne, oh dear god, Breanne. This book should have your named stamped on the bottom of how many messages, emails, talks I badgered you with when an idea didn’t flow or I wanted to squeal of how great a quote was. Seriously, I owe you for life. You were my backbone, the concrete spine I needed so thank you.

I don’t think any of you girls will truly know how much your support means to me.

Thank you to all the beta readers so much for the feedback and the questions you answered. Seeing things from multiple perspectives made the book so much more.

Thank you to my editors Ashley Carlson, Megan Lally, Ami Deason, and Claire Marie for pointing how problems and ways to improve every single piece of the book. Not to mention all the questions I sent your way.

Thank you to Lauren Perry at Perrywinkle Photography for the beautiful photo-shoot and Regina Wamba at MaeIDesign and Photography for designing such a breathtaking full cover.

And thanks to all the indie authors and bloggers welcoming me to this amazing community of men and women hoping to reach readers to share their stories. I am truly blown away of how kind and open every single reader, author or blogger I’ve spoken with.

Lastly, thank you to all the readers who take a chance on a new indie author. It means the world to me and giving you a glimpse into Tensley and Molly’s world is scary but so thrilling. I hope you loved them as much as I did!
