Acknowledgements
First, I want to thank my children, especially my younger ones—Julia, Jenna, Ryan and Emma—for their patience, or at least their tolerance of all the time Mommy spends in front the computer working. I’m sorry for the literally countless times you’ve called my name and I didn’t hear you because I had my headphones in. Mommy loves you.
Second, many thanks to my alpha readers for Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes: Brandy Underwood, who’s read every novel I’ve written, God love her, and isn’t afraid to tell me when something doesn’t work. And Kristi Eggleston who beta read a previous book, Chosen, and loved it so much that she eagerly volunteered to read again. My goal was to make her love this book as much as Chosen.
Third, Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes wouldn’t be the book it is today without the invaluable help of my critique partners—Trisha Leigh, Eisley Jacobs and Kathy Collins. They loved this book and believed in it as much as I did, so much so they weren’t afraid help me make it better. A special thanks to Trisha for not only being a crit partner but a friend, who’s watched me laugh and cry (literally) over this book and offered me wine and encouragement. She always believed it was “the one.”
And lastly, thank you to my family, friends and blog readers of my family blog, There's Always Room for One More, who didn’t call me crazy when I announced I was going to write a novel for NaNoWriMo in November of 2009. Three books later I had Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes. Your encouragement and love for all the stories I write keep me going.
That and the voices in my head.
