Hayes Grier's Twin (Book 1)

Thank You Note

I'm really sad that this book had to come to an end, but the sequel book is up, it's called "Changed: Haye's Grier's Twin Book 2." I started writing this book on a random Friday night of May 2014, and did it because my friend's friend was obsessed with Hayes, and she kinda looked like she could be his twin so I got the idea for this book.

The way I started Wattpad was this: I asked my mom if I could download the app after explaining what it was, and she said no, but honestly, I'm happy I went against what she wanted because Wattpad makes me happy. All my fans are my friends, and I can't thank you all enough for 81,000 reads. It's amazing. When I first published this book (I didn't realize I had published it), I thought no one would read it or like it or vote or comment or follow. But I have 1.2 thousand votes, 81,000 reads and 376 comments. I can't stress enough how amazing the support I've gotten from you guys is. This is only the start of my writing career, and I'm only almost 14! Tomorrow at 3:00 PM I will turn 14. 

I have a few people to thank:

1. My friend, Jackie (not the Jackie this book is based on, a different one that is obssesed with old MAGCON, which is how I found out about them). She was on Wattpad during school and I saw the site, checked it out and fell in love. I can't thank her enough for not doing her math work in class but instead being on this wonderful website. 

2. My past and present English teachers who encouraged me to write all along. All my English teachers knew I wanted to be a writer, and supported me along the way, so thank you for helping me become a stronger writer over the years!

3. My mom for saying no. If I hadn't done this behind her back, where would I be today? Probably a much more depressed teenager, but Wattpad's helped me regain some happiness I lost due to family things. 

4. All of my friends on Wattpad: @lil_fisha_8 , @sammreaderrr , @izzycr , @magconbabes2112 , @BradisBaeJcisLife , @weheartfanfic , @bellaann2 , @TaylorMerrill , @_lily_johnson_ , @Why_Teags_Why , @NewNance , @iloveniall4 , @petalflora, @superelmo2 , @Marshy_ , @emmaerich23412 , @xxmagconboys12xx , @super_unicorn_nya , @caitlin_0909 , @findyourinspiration , @erxcabxtch , @O2L1MAGCON2 and a bunch more!

I have one person I really want to thank from the bottom of my heart, though, is my favorite writer (well one of my top ones I have many) is @goalie306. She's a really good writer and friend of mine, I haven't talked to her recently, but if she sees this (I hope) Inbox me so we can talk! Her story is one of the first I read when I first got a Wattpad, and I loved her stories the minute I read them, so thank you, Lauren for creating your Wattpad account!

5. And the last people I have to thank is you guys for all the positive votes, comments and follows. It's been a long journey, not even a year, but it feels like when I talk to you guys I've known you forever. I never could have done this without you, and you guys make me feel famous with all the nice comments and inbox messages you send to me. I truly love each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart, and to this day I still wonder, why you guys love me so much. I can't say enough that you guys mean the world to me, each and every single one of you. I know I'm not the most famous person on Wattpad, but I feel like it thanks to all of you who have supported me through this whole thing. 

I promise you, now and forever, that I love you all no matter what. Gay, straight, bi, black, white, tall, short, fat thin...We're all people. We're all equal. 

I don't regret my decison for a sequel, I honestly can say that this has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. When I'm a famous author, I can thank all of you for this start :). 

Remember guys, if you ever wanna talk don't be afraid to leave a comment saying you want me to inbox you, or inbox me yourself, I always reply because I know you'd do the same for me.

I'm crying right now, because this amazing story has come to an end, and I'm proud that I made you happy with writing it. I'm so blessed that people have read and voted and commented day in and day out on how much they love this story. 

As I said before, this story was published on accident, but I think God might've published it for me as a sign that this was all meant to happen. 

I'll never forget my first ever book. -xoxo, Lea
