I’d like to start with my awesome beta readers: J.A. Souders, Willow Cross, LM Preston, Bethany Ray-Goodman, Roza kat Marie, Kristie Cook, and Charlie, and a special acknowledgement to Gina Panettieri. Thank you all for pointing out stupidity and helping me shape Perfection into what it is today.
A truckload of gratitude and virtual cupcakes to my agent, Lauren Hammond. If you hadn’t taken a chance on me, then Perfection would probably still be a file on my memory stick, taunting me. I owe you so much.
Thank you to the wonderful, not to mention awe-inspiring, people at Spencer Hill Press. None of this would have happened without you. To Kate Kaynak, for seeing in Perfection what I could see. You are wonderful, and I can’t even begin to thank you enough. And to Vikki Ciaffonec katz, for not only holding my hand, but turning on a flood light so that I could avoid bumping into walls. You just rock. I owe everyone at SHP, including Rich Storrs and Alex Bennett, a standing ovation and a jet-full of thanks.
And a huge thanks to my extremely creative daughter who played the brainstorming game with me, my two super-intelligent sons for believing in me, and to my granddaughter who is just so awesome words can’t even describe. None of you thought I was just wasting my time, which is just cool. You four are my pillars.
