  I love this book. So very much. Baylor and Jayden have quickly become one of my favorite couples behind Shea and Elli. I don’t know why, but their story just gets me and makes me happy. Not saying that my other characters don’t do the same, but I love this book. Like, a lot, and I hope that you’ve enjoyed it too. That it maybe made your day brighter. That maybe it even inspired you to chase after your own dreams.

  With me, it’s what you see is what you get. I don’t sugarcoat myself, I don’t hide who I am, and I live to the fullest. If I want something, I work for it and I don’t quit until I get it. It took losing my mother to become that way, because it made me realize you only get one life. This is it. I know that I’m obnoxious at times, that I could be classified as a bit bitchy and a touch insecure. But I’m also insanely loyal. I love with all my heart, and I will never lie. I believe in me, and I know I can overcome anything that stands in my way.

  I’ve been attacked over and over again in this business, but I won’t allow it to get me down. Does it hurt? Yeah, I cry a lot, and I stress to the point of sickness. But in the end, when I hold my baby (the book) in my hands, it’s worth all the hours of writing and not being with my family. It’s worth dealing with the promotion part of writing, which something I hate, but Damaris does make it easier. It’s worth the editing process that I loathe, but thankfully, Lisa makes me better and does it without brutally ruining me. And it’s worth the beta process, where I send my baby to the very first set of eyes other than mine and hope they love it. I have the best and most amazing beta team: Laurie, Kara, Natasha, Althea, Heather, Lisa, Jo, Vanessa, Lisa, Janett, Susie, Lisa, & Mary. Thankfully, I do have a wonderful readership. You make this all so worthwhile, and I couldn’t be more blessed with people who love my characters as much as I do. It’s amazing and perfect and yeah, it isn’t easy, but I don’t want to not write.

  I have to.

  These people need their stories, and I will continue to write them.

  No matter what.

  So thank you. Thank you for reading Clipped by Love and thank you for reading this.

  Now put this story down and go live your dreams.

  They’re waiting on you.

  I’d also like to thank my loving family for always supporting my dreams and believing in me. I couldn’t do it without y’all. I love you, Michael, Nick, Mikey, Alyssa, and Noey.

  To my mom, I miss you and love you more than words can describe. I’m living my dreams because you always pushed me to do so. Thank you.
