Thanks to our family. Through this past year, we’ve recognized how grateful we are to have you all in our lives. You don’t have to read a single page to shout about our books, to praise them and praise us, and that means so much—that you all would be willing to love us unconditionally like that. Thank you a million times over.
Big thanks to Aestas at Aestas Book Blog. We can’t begin to describe the impact your support for the series has had on us. You’re a huge reason why so many people initially read our books, why we’re able to continue writing, and why we are now living our dream. This is our promise to repay you with great books…or at least ones that don’t suck.
Tackle hugs Siiri at Little Pieces of Imagination. Our friendship with you has made this experience so worthwhile. Whether it’s discussing television shows, talking Coballoway (a ship name that you most definitely created), or flipping through Addicted series inspirational pics—you’re someone we just truly love.
Other bloggers and friends we absolutely love and admire: Sue at YA Hollywood and Sil—you girls always dazzle us with your graphics talent and flatter us with your kind words. Sue, you have some serious superpowers, and it’s making the world a better, brighter, more fandom-loving place. Sil, every taco reference and Cancun shoutout is dedicated to you. Jen and Lanie—giant hugs are in order when we meet you two. Writing wouldn’t be nearly as fun without having you both in our world. Here with you, we feel like we’re always flying, Peter Pan style. Amy Fox and Bella Love—thank you girls for loving our books enough to gather people to talk about them. That is simply one of the best gifts we’ve ever been given. Ashley and Erica at Back Porch Romance, Perla at IB Teen, Michelle at Four Chicks Flipping Pages, and Amber at For Your Literary Pleasure—thank you for your amazing words after we publish each book. They not only put tears in our eyes but they’ve given us more confidence in our writing than you will ever realize. You’ve empowered us, and for that, we thank you so, so much. We’re blessed to have all of you as readers and fans.
We can never name every person that has impacted us over the course of the series. The list would be pages and pages long. We hate excluding anyone, more than anything, so if you didn’t see your name, know that you mean so much to us. Every time we begin a new book, we think about all of you, about which teams you’re on, who you’d like to see as you flip the page and the best story we can ever give you.
You are in our hearts and in our minds. As Lily would say, thankyouthankyouthankyou!
