FFPLogo

Thrilled and shocked and honestly humbled. I read the finalist books and wow what a fantastic group of books to be included with. Readers, check out the list below and read them all. You will thank me!

A book is never written in a vacuum and I have people to thank!

A huge thank you to Eve who organized the contest this year. I’ve been a behind the scenes helper for Beth in the past and have an inkling of how much work it is. Thank you also to all the judges for taking the time to thoughtfully read and judge all the submissions. And especially to the judges who read and loved my book!!!

Thank you as always to the Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal (FF&P) chapter of RWA (Romance Writers of America) -for putting this awesome contest on each year. In you, I have found friendships and people who get me better than anyone. 

Thank you to my editor, Heather Howland, for believing in my dragon shifters and discussing them with me on the phone for hours and hours, and emails and emails, and reining me in when you had to. You’re the reason I’m here. Thank you also to my team at Entangled. You do all the hard work to get my books in the hands of readers in such a brilliant and wonderful way. I appreciate you more than I can say.

Thank you to my agent Evan who talks me down, talks me through, talks me up, and does the leg work that makes my career move forward. You are the best!

Thank you to my critique partners, beta readers, and author friends who helped me with writing, editing, and releasing this book. Especially to Nicole Flockton, Anna J. Stewart, and Alyssa Day! Your friendship and love means the world!

Thank you to my family. You are my heart and soul and joy in this life. I wouldn’t be able to do this if you didn’t believe in me and support me. I love you so much!

TheBoss_500Again, y’all. Go read ALL of these, and thank me later!
