Acknowledgments - Pack of Mine

To my best friend Rachel, who listened to me vent, cry and brainstorm Pack of Mine a million times over the last six months and somehow agreed to edit it for me. Your friendship and support during this process is something I’ll forever be in your debt for. Your creativity and vocabulary continue to amaze me, Rachel, and I’ll always look up to you.

To my golden retriever husband, who read Pack of Mine far more than anyone else, who stayed up late with me planning plot twists and voicing his opinion in a polite, loving and gentle way, like he always does. I couldn’t have done this without you, especially on the days when my brain told me I was a horrible writer and I should just delete the entire manuscript. Thank you for talking me out of it – Every. Single. Time.

To Chelsea and Shiann, my first friends in this industry. I met you both when I desperately needed some good energy around publishing and I’m forever grateful that we found each other. Thank you for your kind words constantly, the hype on social media and your invaluable feedback on Pack of Mine.

And to you – thank you for reading my debut novel. This process was beyond terrifying and asked me to be more vulnerable than I’ve ever been before. Thank you for showing interest in a piece of art that I almost threw away many, many times.
