Tackled by Love (31 page)
Authors: Rachael Duncan
Thank you to all the readers who read Tackled by Love. There are a ton of other books out there and the fact that you bought this one is truly humbling. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
To my husband, Steven. Thanks for dealing with a messy house and crappy dinners while I worked on this book. Our life is crazy enough as it is, so thanks for accepting a little more crazy and supporting me through this. I love you, babe.
Laura Hansen, you crazy woman, you. Thank you for all your support. You’ve been there almost from the very beginning before I ever thought of writing a book on my own. You’re an amazing person and I’m blessed to call you a friend. Thanks for beta’ing for me and making me feel confident in my story. I love ya, girl!
Ashley—or Alexis—or whatever you want to be called today. Who knew I’d make such a great friend out of this crazy girl who gets pulled over for rapping Eminem? You were so willing to shed light on every aspect of the writing process, from beta’ing, to the book cover, and I love that you let me pick at your brain for all of it. You’re amazing and I appreciate all the advice you gave through this process.
Thanks to “fucking Judy Readsalot” for reading through this for me and finding the last bit of things that fell through the cracks. Your honesty is something I value and I know if I really want to know the truth about something, I can always depend on you for a straight answer. You’re awesome!
Jennifer Santoro, thank you so much for your opinion and help with making this book the best it can be. I appreciate the time you put into this while you were on vacation. Thank you!
To Espe Duarte with Second Gaze Editing, thank you for doing an incredible job editing this book!
Ena Burnett, a huge thank you for helping get the word out through the amazing blog tour you set up with Enticing Journey Book Promotions. You’re amazing and I’m so glad we met. Until our next New Deli date….
Jaime, thank you for doing the first round of betas and starting me on the path to the finished product.
To my cover model, Ali Gordon. You are such a nice and humble person. Thanks for rolling with my scattered brain and being patient while I figured things out. You gave a face to my character and I could never thank you enough for that.
That leads me to thank the photographer, Lydia Millen. Your images are beautiful and I appreciate you doing this shoot for me.
Kellie Dennis with Book Cover by Design, you did an awesome job on my cover. I had no idea what I wanted and you ran with it. You knocked it out of the park! Thank you!
Brenda Wright deserves a HUGE thank you for having to reformat my book a million times because I kept making last minute changes. You never made me feel bad (even though I did) and were super nice about it. The book looks beautiful too!
Last, but not least, thank you to all the bloggers! You guys are amazing and your passion for books is incredible. Without you, no one would know who I am and I can’t tell you how incredibly grateful I am for your honest feedback and support. You guys rock!
