These thank-you lists keep getting longer and longer. In an effort to not write another book, I’d like to thank a few people, none of whom I could do any of this without . . .
My editor, Pam Berehulke, and her swift red pen.
Sarah Hansen and her way more than Okay Creations.
Neda Amini, the sweetest everything to me, chief hand-holder and master-minder.
Robin Bateman, Terilyn Smitsky, Jennifer Wolfel, and Virginia Carey, who together are my personal cheering squad, and the ladies who tell me when I have food in my teeth or write shitty dialogue.
Milasy Mugnolo, Michelle Rodriguez, Erin Noelle, Christy Pastore, Fabiola Francisco, and Debra Doxer, for my daily dose of confidence or commiseration.
Emily Tippetts, Tianne Samson and Stacey Tippetts for formatting and endless advice.
Extra-special thanks go to . . .
My family. Seriously, you never know what you’re going to get with me. I may be showered and ready to leave the house or holed up in my robe for days. I love you.
You too, Mom!
Nicole Snyder, who keeps me from going over an unorganized cliff.
My other mother, Susan Ward, who entertains me with her analysis of sales trends and hysterical quips.
My “F the noise” girls. Keeping it real, all day, every day.
The wonderful members of The Electric Readers group on Facebook for their energy and tireless support.
The bloggers who tirelessly sit behind their laptops, helping books find new readers.
Stacey, who has the patience of a saint when it comes to the alpha males in my head.
And my friends at home who hold my hand, allow me to cry on their shoulders, and drink California chardonnay.
Rachel Blaufeld is a social worker/entrepreneur/blogger turned author. Fearless about sharing her opinion, Rachel captured the ear of stay-at-home and working moms on her blog, BacknGrooveMom, chronicling her adventures in parenting tweens and inventing a product, often at the same time. She has also blogged for USA Today’s “Happy Ever After” feature, The Huffington Post, Modern Mom, and StartupNation.
Turning her focus on her sometimes wild-and-crazy creative side, it only took Rachel two decades to do exactly what she wanted to do—write a fiction novel. Now she spends way too many hours in local coffee shops plotting her ideas. Her tales may all come with a side of angst and naughtiness, but end lusciously.
Rachel lives around the corner from her childhood home in Pennsylvania with her family and two dogs. Her obsessions include running, coffee, icing-filled doughnuts, antiheroes, and mighty fine epilogues.
