Love Love (38 page)

To my husband for inspiring me every
day to live passionately and for supporting me unconditionally in
whatever I decide to do in my life. For helping me to see that I
could really do this, and, that I can do anything I set my mind to;
because, well, when I set my mind to something, I do it. For
picking up the slack through this entire process of a messy house
and a completely scattered brain, all the while trying to finish up
his own novel too. I love you deeply.

To my two amazing children who have
been my joys since the day they were born. For inspiring me to tell
and write stories, just so I can see their smiles and hear their
giggles that take me to a happy place. I love my family and sharing
this with them is what it’s all about for me.

To Stephanie and Smokey for helping me
find my sense of direction in New York and for always showing me so
much love and support. I love you both.

To Lisa Deeds for being an amazing
friend and support, and for all the constructive feedback regarding
my novel. You are unique and special and I love you.

To Colleen Webley, Nikki Groom,
Sherrie Cannitello-Fahey, Lisa Wrobel, Susan Carbine, Damien &
Sally Connolly, David & Quynh Rodriguez, Jennifer Chrysadakis,
Angel Sylvia, Jennifer Zamuda, and Angie Julious for being so
incredibly supportive and showing me an overabundance of love,
excitement and support. You all rock and I love you!

To my friends and fellow authors Devon
Herrera, Monica James, L. Chapman, Tracey Manning, L.M. Augustine,
Laura Howard, Colleen Albert, MR Joseph, Wendy Ferraro, and all of
the other authors who have supported me and cheered me on, I am
beyond grateful and feel humbled to be in the presence of such
truly remarkable individuals.

To Cheryl McIntyre for all your kind
words of encouragement, your enthusiasm for my novel, and for
telling stories that I not only love to read, but that inspire
me.

To E.L. James for making me fall in
love with Christian and Ana, and for rekindling my love of reading
that had gotten lost somewhere along the way. I have no doubt that
I would not be in this place had I not decided to explore the world
of Fifty Shades.

To Colleen Hoover and Jessica Park for
your brilliance, for inspiring me with your words, and for making
me feel so much.

I am a
wife, a mom, an author, and a lover of all things chocolate, well,
anything sweet really. While stuffing chocolate in my face, I enjoy
reading young adult and new adult novels furiously, and spending
time with my husband and two adorable children who keep me on my
peppermint pink painted toes. Those same children who inspire me to
tell silly stories that cause hysterical giggles to tumble from
their bellies.

I love to laugh and love to have a
good cry, especially after reading a novel that stretches my soul,
one that makes me feel, and lingers in the corner of my
heart.

I’m a hopeless romantic and a happily
ever after fanatic, and I love to write about LOVE.

I began writing when I was
in middle school, penning anything from short stories, to poetry,
and then later moved on to write children’s books. I have now
endeavored into New Adult and Contemporary Romance novels and am
loving every minute of it.
Love
Love
is my first published
novel.

I would love to hear from you, so
please feel free to reach out to me:
