Note for the reader:
Dear Reader,
This was a book I never planned to write. Mike had an important role in Forever Red, yet I never anticipated how much you all would love him and crave his story.
I had no idea where this book would go, or who would steal Mike’s heart until Molly made her intentions clear. I fought against the match – Mike and Molly, really? – but there really wasn’t anyone Mike wanted to be with other than Molly.
In the end, Mike and Molly turned out to be my favorite couple out of all my book couples. I love them together! Don’t get me wrong, I adore Nate & Lia, and Matty & Jo, but there is just something about Mike and Molly that makes me smile.
This is not the end for our ‘Bama Boys. Noah is up next – Black is coming in Spring 2016. I have loved Noah since Red and I cannot wait to sit with him and see where his story takes us. Hopefully Emily doesn’t break his heart too much!
Thank you for loving Nate and Red with me!
I hope you love Mike Carson and Molly Ray just as much!
I’ve been asked numerous times about Kevin’s song. No, it is not a real song. It is, however, a poem called ‘Good Night Dear Friend”. When he was 21, my best friend Brett lost his battle with cancer. I wish I could say that I held myself together, or that I was strong. I didn’t and I wasn’t. I wrote the poem that Molly’s uses as lyrics to read at his funeral. It was the only way I could express my loss – a loss I still feel sixteen years later. If I was Molly, Brett was my Mike – it is only fitting that the words I’d written for him found a forever home in Mike’s book.
Please let me know what you think!

Acknowledgments:
This book was a labor of love for me. While I wrote Blue, everything in my personal life went crazy. You’re reading this now because the people who love me wouldn’t let me stop writing, even when I thought I was going to have to. To everyone who told me to take a deep breath, who promised everything would be ok, and who just made me laugh, Thank You! I love you more than you could imagine.
For my husband, who supports my dreams and my love of imaginary people, even when I’m worn out and cranky. Sometimes love isn’t expressed in words or romantic gestures – it’s shown by cooking dinner night after night, getting the kids ready for bed, and doing whatever it takes to give your wife time to sit and write, even though you work eighty hours a week. I will work harder to remember that because you mean the world to me Bambino
For the real Kevin, who rescued me, over and over again. I could not have survived high school, my family, or my dad’s death, without you. If I could go back and do it again, knowing that you wouldn’t be part of my life anymore, I wouldn’t change a thing because everything happened the way it was supposed to. We may not talk now, but the teenage me will forever be in love with the teenage you. I hope you found all the happiness you deserve!
I seriously have the best group of women supporting me. They not only read my words, they put up with my crap and are always there for me. Even if I didn’t always agree with them, they were a constant support. Thank you Ada, Amanda, April, Jen, Kim, Lauren, Theresa and Tristan for loving Mike with me! You are the BEST BETAS EVER! I hope you’ll join me for Noah!
Amanda and April – I tell everyone that I have the world’s best PAs. I mean every word. I adore you two. Thank you for all that you do!
Kristen, I love you! Not only are you the World’s Best Editor, you are a constant support. Who else would reply to my random text messages in the middle of the night when I’m trying to tie all the pieces together? Thank you for talking out this book with me, more than once, and for just being you!
Neda, you are everything I didn’t know I needed. I am so thankful to have you and Ardent PRose on my side. You are a miracle worker, a great friend, and I’m honored to have you in my corner!
Julie, for proof reading and catching the mistakes I would have never seen!
Sara, thank you for the perfect and beautiful cover! And, for putting up with me along the way. I can’t wait to work with you again.
Doom ‘n Bloom (My Derby Wife Bloomie), you are the constant source of support, both on the track and off. Sometimes, you know what I need before I do. I adore you. And, now that this book is finished, I’m coming back, baby!
My boys will probably never read my books. But, if they do, I want them to remember that Blue proves that with a little help, you can accomplish whatever you want to. With each of my books, I teach them a new lesson. This is one of the most important!
My biggest thank you is for the bloggers who constantly support Indies like me. I may be able to write, but the rest of the process is lost on me. Without you and your blog posts, reviews and promotions, my books would fail. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your love of the written word with the world!
