I need to start out with this, there are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe to you how much your support has meant to me.

But since I'm a writer I will give it my best shot.

Now I know you could be rolling your eyes and thinking 'Yeah, yeah this is some generic thank you' but listen to me, it's not.

I can't tell you how many times I burst out laughing because of your reaction to a cliff hanger, a cute moment or simply your odd comment.

I can't tell you how many times I smiled as I wrote knowing how a single line would affect you.

I can't express the amount of times I was touched by the unbelievable love and support you showed me, this book and Carter.

Even if you were a silent reader or simply voted, know that what you did was not little at all! Because that one act means more to me than you could possibly know. For with that one act you said 'yes, I will encourage you'. And you did.

If it was possible I would travel to where you are and buy you a gallon of ice cream. You have been a never ending source of happiness to me. You truly will never know what you mean to me. When I say I love you, I honestly mean it because you deserve it. Because you have shown me love.

Awhile ago I decided if my sister was the only who read my stories I would be happy. So the fact that you are reading it is astonishing. I can't believe that you are part of my story.

With all of my heart I thank you for being more amazing, loving, caring, wonderful and supportive than any author deserves, including me. Truly this simple message does not come close to saying all that you mean to me. Please know that you have my heart and undying gratitude.

To those who I got to know from your voice in the comments over the past months as you stayed with me for each update.

(It amazes me how much longer this list gets with each book)

This is in no specific order.

If for some reason you've been with me from the beginning and I made a mistake and didn't put you up there please tell me right now and I will fix it!
