Acknowledgements

We couldn’t have finished this book without the love and support of our families, so the first very big thank you goes to Max Ernst, Darleen Zimmerman, David Pincus, Cecile Bruhn, and Steve, James, Rhys, Alisha, and Violet Bruhn. We love you all so much!

 For being with us from the very beginning (and offering some very helpful feedback on an earlier draft) we’d like to thank Kristyn DiDominick, Angelo Boccia Cedeño, and Dustin Moore. Thanks to Adam Bricker for inspiring one of the first lines ever written in The Long Game, and for always being a character in his own right. For always being supportive of our writing and just being inspirational, strong women, thanks to Amie Knauer, Meghan Saweikis, and Fiona Shirk. For being super supportive while also offering that little kick in the ass a writer sometimes needs to stay focused (and for making the “day job” just as much fun as time off), thanks to Amy Yoder McGloughlin and Michael Brix.

We absolutely have to thank Agent Pooja Menon of Kimberley Cameron and Associates who gave us so much encouragement, advice, and support along the way, all while being one of the coolest agents in the business. To Kristen and Jolene at Pen & Muses, the friendliest and most helpful publicists we could have asked for, and Rebecca A. Weston, the most thorough copy editor. To all the wonderful, talented, amazing, and hilarious ladies in the WrAHM society–we never would have been able to do this without you. Finding this group has been nothing short of miraculous for us. Thank you to Laurelin Page, Melanie Harlow, Emma Hart, Robin Lucas, Delancey Stewart, and Elizabeth Otto in particular, for going above and beyond in the help and encouragement department and playing a huge role in bringing this book to life. And an extra big thank you to Leigh Ann who had the courage to lead the way and whose talent, intelligence, and hard-work inspired us to make a go at it ourselves. Thanks to New Adult Authors Unite, and the lovely ladies who run it, our Pen Monkeys, and Dawn Pendleton for starting a great fall promo group. To Team Fynn, our biggest, loudest, and best cheerleaders—we love you guys! Thanks to everyone who follows us on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr for all their support. A special thanks to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for producing the soundtrack to our journey. We’re happy to be I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T chasing dreams.

Finally, our sincerest thanks to anyone reading this book—a writer is nothing without a reader, and we’re eternally grateful to you for giving us a reason to do what we do.

Signed (if you’ve gotten this far),

 Chelle Bruhn & Katherine Ernst, the writers behind J.L. Fynn
