Lipgloss on your Wings - Branded Angel Novels book 1

Authors Note, Acknowledgements

From Stacie (on Lipgloss on your Wings)

I have so much love for this story. It's taken around two years to plan, write, re write, edit and there is still so much that can be done with it!

Other writers will understand what I mean when I say the characters are like my best friends (the nice ones anyway!) I laugh and joke with them all the time and they tell me the things they're doing and their hopes and dreams. Each time they do my fingers itch to write it all down and remember it so I can share it with everyone in the next two installments.

Of course this is a collaboration with my sister. Sophie. So much stuff in this story, whilst we were writing it, brought back a lot of memories. We spent about 40% of the time writing and 60% of the time laughing at what we wrote. I'll let you read it and guess which events were based on our own experiences!

So many people have asked what it's like to co write, especially with your sister. All I can say is, it's great! There's never a pause in our ideas because we challenge and question each other constantly, why is she doing this? How can this happen? And then we work out the answers together.  

I'm going to leave it at this, a message for my sister. You are the pinky to my brain! Haha. We're on the edge of glory and I'm hanging on a moment with you.

Acknowledgements: My Life Would Suck Without You...

My kids, if I had three pairs of lips and three noses I would be kissing each of your cheeks and smelling your hair for the rest of my life because that's my favourite thing to do.

My Mum. The boss and the best cook in the world.

The people we can love as we remember them... My Grandad Dave and Uncle Ginger. Rest in Peace.

Also, my sister. Meine schwester, sister mine. I wouldn't want to write with anybody else, because your the only person I love enough to not kill. Jokes. XD We're so similar sometimes it's scary and our skill at reciting lines from films is unmatched by any.

Last but certainly not least, my Dad. Everything I do right is because of you, every decision I make is to get me one step closer to feeling like I deserve you as a father, because you've been my rock, my world, through so much and I will love you forever (infinity kisses) even though you bought me the ugliest doll of my life one Christmas. Man was it ugly, but I loved it because it was from you. You get knocked down but you get up again and I'll always be there to remind you of it. The only man a girl can depend on is her Daddy. And you've never let me down even when you felt like you were at the bottom.
