  Acknowledgments

  This has been an amazing journey and I couldn’t have done without the help from so many different people. To start I want to thank the various Facebook groups I’ve joined and been a part of. I especially want to thank Indie Support group for the instrumental role you played in helping me get this book out there. Without you guys, I don’t think I would have gotten as far as I have. You guys provided anything from great advice about blurbs and covers, where to start, marketing, and so much more. Thank you, you are a fantastic group of authors!

  I’d like to thank my beta readers, and close friends, for all the help you gave me with putting my book together. Your input was so helpful and insightful, so thank you Alyssa Flores, Jae Montemayor, Darla Reid, and Veronikka Howell. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention all the encouragement and support you threw my way either!

  Thank you, Hannah, for editing my novel, you’re the absolute best! And Su, thank you for your continued patience with me during the cover creation, you did a fantastic job!

  Next, I need to thank my best friend, Alyssa Elaine Flores. You have been my rock throughout this journey like no one else has. Thank you for listening to me blabber for hours upon hours, daily. When I was feeling down or unsure of what to do next, your constant encouragement and support got me through. Alyssa, you are a wonderful person and I am so thankful to call you my best friend. We have known each other for over ten years and thank you for being there for me every step of the way!

  Last but not least, I want to thank my family. If not for the love and encouragement I received from you throughout my life, I would not be where I am today. You have made me into the person I am today and I can’t be more thankful. You have given me the space, encouragement, and support necessary to grow and discover my passions. I love you all to the moon and back and I thank God that you’re with me. You all mean the world to me, thank you for everything!
