Flavia Viotti, agent/manager/business partner extraordinaire: You are such a badass and one of the hardest-working people I know. I’m so honored to be working with you and can’t wait until our dreams come true. You’re a force and I’m sooo here for it. I can’t imagine my life or career without you. Since the day we met, I knew I wanted you in my corner and have never looked back. I hope I can one day live up to the way you see my potential, even if it takes one hundred years.

Erin Gross: You complete me. Literally. Thank you for being my right and left hands, brain, arms, etc., etc. You’re the best and we are taking over the world together. You’re so innovative and literally work through your sleep. I heart you so hard. I’ve known you since the very beginning of my career and you’ve always rooted for me and seen what even I couldn’t see. Here’s to the next decade.

Kristin Dwyer: This is our tenth book together! Whattttt. You’re the bomb and I can’t wait for eleven, twelve, ninety-nine. You’ve helped guide me as an author and held my hand as I have navigated my career since day one (literally). You’re the OG and I heart you so much.

Douglas Vasquez: It’s so hard to believe that we met at a signing in Brazil all those years ago. You started as a fan and now are one of the closest people in my life. You understand me and root for me and it means the world to me. Here’s to taking over the world in a fresh, exciting way. I couldn’t do this without you.

S.M.: I didn’t get enough time with you and some days I hate you for that. Others, I remember the way you taught me about myself, and that you were the first person who ever told me to write my thoughts down. You told me I should be a writer long, long before I ever could have dreamed of it. You taught me so much about myself in such a short time and I wish I would have had more time with you, or would have known just how deeply you were hurting. Until I see you again, I will write you into my novels and dream about what your life could have and should have been like.

Vilma Gonzalez: We will be the Tae to each other’s Yoongi and carry each other around to beautiful places in our next lives.

Eric Brown: Your wise counsel and the many hours spent to ensure the solid foundation of my company are truly appreciated.
