Writing the conclusion to the Avoiding series has sent me through a wide range of emotions that I’m sure is reflected back to the readers. At times I was happy, sad, heartbroken, depressed, ecstatic, jumping up and down, wanting to throw my computer, clutching my chest, and so much more. These characters brought so much joy and anguish to my life, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of so many people.

First of all, I would like to thank the readers! You are the ones who let me continue to write, who yell passionately about the characters, and encourage me to keep going. I always appreciate my girls in the Bekah Haters Club who know that every problem is all Bekah’s fault, and stuck by me for over a year to make this happen. Thank you Dawn, who assisted with research in New York City, and Richelle for “not having friends like that.” As always, I am eternally grateful to my FictionPress readers who have been with me from the beginning back when the books were free and no one had ever heard of me.

Several people helped with brainstorming, reminded me that my vision for this series was the right route, read early copies of the manuscript. So thank you—Jessica Carnes, Bridget Peoples, Rebecca Kimmerling, Lori Francis, and Katie Miller. Thank you S.C. Stephens and Taryn Cellucci for listening to me cry and freak out about what I wanted to do, for getting on the phone with me in early stages and freaking out with me about my choices. Also for the use of the D-Bags, Kellan Kyle, and Sienna Sexton! They helped shape the final product. Also, thank you Amy Telep for the help, guidance, and support with the book and the book world that brought this to life.

I worked with several authors who read and loved the series, and I can’t thank them enough for their kind words and understanding the power of redemption—A.L. Jackson, Madeline Sheehan, Claribel Contreras, K.A. Robinson, J. Sterling, Rebecca Donovan, Samantha Towle, and Gail McHugh.

Special thank you to Toski Covey Photography for the incredible cover photo and Sarah Hansen of Okay Creations for bringing the cover to life. Thank you Jovana Shirley at Unforeseen Editing for polishing my manuscript before sending it out into the world. I love the running commentary throughout, and I’m glad that I found someone to work with who gets me.

I’d like to thank my family for supporting me while writing and raising me to be the kind of person who loves reading and writing. And for all the crazy nights, brainstorming, hectic schedules, insane ideas, heartbreaking lines, book boyfriend obsessions, and much much more, thank you Joel for being there through it all. You make all the madness worthwhile. Also, Goose and Hippo for being my late night writing buddies.
