Bring Me Your Midnight(102)
To Marta Courtenay, thank you for your creativity, enthusiasm, and for the hours of work you save me.
To Elana Roth Parker, thank you for helping make this book happen.
To the authors who so generously read this book early and sent along such wonderful blurbs—thank you. Your enthusiasm makes me so excited to send this book out into the world.
Adalyn Grace, thank you for the hours you spent on the other side of my screen, drafting with me. May our schedules forever align. Diya Mishra, you read this book first, and your enthusiasm and excessive use of the f-word fueled my love for it from the very start. Thank you. Julia Ember, Miranda Santee, Tyler Griffin, Heather Ezell, Kristin Dwyer, and Rosiee Thor, thank you for not only being some of my very favorite people, but for also reading this book early and providing such invaluable insight. Rachel Lynn Solomon, Adrienne Young, Isabel Iba?ez, and Tara Tsai, I wouldn’t want to be on this journey without you.
Angela Davis, you gave me permission to imagine a path for myself that was truly mine. Thank you for helping me find my happiness.
To my dog, Doppler, who keeps me company day after day as I write these stories and who gets me out of my office when I might not otherwise leave.
Chip, I can’t really describe the peace that settled over me when you came into our family. Thank you for your heart.
Mom, thank you for your constant encouragement and support as I navigate this career. You have always believed in my writing, and I’m so thankful. Dad, you have never once made me doubt your love, and in the hardest moments of my life, you have been my safe haven and harbor during the storm. I love you both so much.
Mir, I am only able to do this because of you. The way you support me, encourage me, and love me completely blows me away, and I could not ask for a more perfect person to be totally dependent on. The truth is that I’m in awe of you. I love you to the ends of the earth.
Ty, you are my one and only, my epic love, my very best friend. I would go on any journey, no matter how difficult, if it meant finding you at the end. Thank you for believing in me and supporting me as I pursue dream after dream; I hope you know that out of them all, you are my greatest dream come true. I love you so much.
And finally, to Jesus. Thank for loving me through all my questions and doubts—especially then.
