Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments are
always difficult to write, making sure everyone I love is included and not forgotten.

My first thanks
always goes to my husband, Harry. Thank you, honey, for giving me the support and opportunity to do what I love and for reading everything I write. I’d be lost without your helpful suggestions. I also appreciate your mentioning my book to every complete stranger you meet, which embarrasses the heck out of me, but I love it and love you. You are my rock and my knight in shining armor. To my kids, for all your love and support and my Mom, for your encouragement and support and not making too many comments about my absentmindedness because my mind is usually on a character or a scene and for telling everyone you know I wrote a book.

Thank you, Michelle Olson, my
outstanding editor, you are the best. You’ve been a huge help in bringing this book to life with all your encouraging words and praises. I love the way you allow me to pick your brain even when you’re probably too exhausted to think. Thank you, Pam Ripling aka Anne Carter, for answering all my stupid questions that I constantly bug you with. Love and hugs to my beta readers and awesome writer friends, Kelly Erickson, Kerry Erickson, Amber Garza, Celsey Seivert, Tina Donnelly, Pam Ripling, thank you for your insightful suggestions, you helped pull this book together.

To you, the reader, you own my heart, because without you, this story would be sitting on my hard drive collecting cyber dust. Thank you for reading and i
f you’ve enjoyed Beautifully Used, please take a moment to write a review on sites such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, or Goodreads.

About Susan Griscom

I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, spending most of my time daydreaming or playing around in the mud. I grew out of the mud play, well, most of the time, a good soak in the mud is always fun. I still daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course. I'm pretty sure it was the acting.

I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and tend to lean toward the unusual and edgy.

My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot
, as does a steamy contemporary romantic suspense.
