While strolling through vacation listings, I came upon a bookshop holiday advertisement. To my delight I discovered there is a book shop in the lowlands of Scotland that offers exactly what Much Ado About Books offers in Evie’s story. This got my imagination firing, and before I knew it, Evie’s adventure in England was playing out in my head, desperate to be told. As for the story’s setting, I have long since hoped to set a book in Northumberland. It’s one of my favorite places in the world and one of the most beautiful counties in England. It was a no-brainer that Much Ado About You should be set there. It was a joy to send Evie there. When I wrote this book, I wrote it with the desire to create the ultimate romantic comfort read, and it was certainly a comfort write! I hope readers felt my love for the characters, the setting, and that it magically transported you all there.

For the most part, writing is a solitary endeavor but publishing most certainly is not. I have to thank my fantastic editor, Kerry Donovan, not only for helping to make me a better writer and storyteller, but for believing in me and in this book. Moreover, thank you to all the team at Berkley for your hard work on Evie and Roane’s story.

The same must be said for my amazing agent, Lauren Abramo. Lauren, thank you for always having my back and for making it possible for readers all over the world to read my stories. I know how lucky I am to have you.

And thank you to my bestie and PA extraordinaire, Ashleen Walker, for handling all the little things and supporting me through everything. There are no words for how much I appreciate and love you.

Thank you to every single blogger, Instagrammer, and book lover who has helped spread the word about my books. You all are appreciated so much. On that note, a massive thank-you to all the fantastic readers in my private Facebook group, Sam’s Clan McBookish. You’re the kindest, most supportive readers a girl could ask for and I hope you know how much you all mean to me.

In case I don’t say it enough, thank you to my family and friends for your never-ending well of support. I love you all so much.

Finally, to you, my reader, the biggest thank-you of all.
