To my Halcyon Bastards: You three are a constant inspiration to me. Thank you for being such great friends. Can’t wait ‘till I see you all again.

To my family and friends: Thank you for all of your support. It’s been a rough few months, and I couldn’t have gotten through without you all.

To everyone at Seton Hill University’s Writing Popular Fiction program, big hugs! I’m lucky to have such an awesome second family.

Last, but most importantly, to my husband: You are my everything. Thank you for carrying me through this hard time. Thank you for being supportive through thick and thin. For believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. I love you more than words could ever express. A lifetime with you won’t be enough.
