Bella (A Sagatori Family Saga a Mafia Romance Book 3) (7 page)

Acknowledgments

There are so many people that I would like to thank for everything they have done in helping with the release of Bella vol.2. I would first and foremost like to say that without each one of you, readers, family, friends, and bloggers, there would not be a Sagatori family saga. I absolutely cannot do this without you. I’m touched by the love and encouragement that I receive every day from all of you. I appreciate each of you more than you will ever know, but only because I don’t know how to fully explain it.

My husband, Chad, and children have to be the most patient people I have ever met. They deal with everything that comes from having a mommy and wife attempting to make her writing dreams come true. I love you to the moon for that support, but I’d love you anyway *wink*.

To my friends April Newman, Courtney Shockey, and Misty Simmons. Thank you so much for always being there and ready to help! You have no idea how much your friendship has meant to me. Thank you for always supporting me!

My managers and friends, Misty Simmons, April Newman, Courtney Shockey, and Victoria Kay. You are the kind of girls everyone should have in their life! They work alongside Misty and myself in assuring every day to day detail is taken care of and are amazing in everything that they do and you are all such wonderful friends. I hope that you know how special you all are and how each of your friendships mean the absolute world to me.

Christy McCurry-I’m so excited that you’re on board as my PA! Thank you for all that you do!

I am going to take a moment to say thank you to my Mom, Dad, and friends that support me every day. Without you I wouldn’t be able to do what I do, I love you. I always dreamt that one day I would write something that someone would want to read and for me to actually have accomplished that is an absolute dream come true. My “day” job is being a hospice nurse and I see how quickly our lives can end. Knowing that and being able to follow my dreams in this life means more than I can possibly explain.

Thank you so much for reading this story!

Kimberly has been writing since she was a young girl growing up in Kansas City, MO. Reading and writing has always been a big part of her life. She enjoys the world she can get lost in while reading a good book.

A wife and mother to four beautiful children, she decided she wasn't busy enough. She spent some time chasing down fugitives as a bounty hunter then laid down her handcuffs and finished her college degree in nursing.

Kimberly loves discovering new music and action movies. Writing is her passion.
