Everybody Knows (Sunnyside #1) (34 page)

Acknowledgments

Thank you to RWA for
providing me with so many positive Golden Heart experiences over the years and
the opportunity to join loops and groups with other authors on a similar path.
My writing life would not be complete without the talented Pixie Chicks,
Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood, Lucky 13s, the FiveCorners, OVRWA (my previous local
chapter) and the Southwest Florida Romance Writers (my new local chapter).

A special thanks to Leann
W, Michele W, and Peggy G. for the cover input.

Thank you to editor Annie
Oortman for her infinite patience, wisdom, and editing skills.

Much appreciation to
Pennie A. for volunteering to Beta read this manuscript.

Additional thanks to
mega-talented cover designer Kim Killion of The Killion Group.

Family is everything, and
my daughter Sarah is instrumental in keeping me in line, on-schedule, and
upbeat about this publishing journey we’ve undertaken. Could
not
do it without her.

Thank you to my son, Evan,
for sharing my love of writing and always making me laugh.

As always, thank you to
Goble, my husband, my hero, my reason for being. He makes everything
worthwhile.

About the Author

Jacie Floyd writes
contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and emotionally-rich stories about the kind
of strong women and bold men you want to read about and know.

From the time she read her
first Nancy Drew mystery, she's been an avid reader and writer in a variety of
genres. After many years as a wife and mother with a nine-to-five job, the
desire to create her own stories became her obsession. While polishing her
craft as an unpublished author, she was honored to be named a six-time Golden
Heart Finalist and two-time Golden Heart winner by the Romance Writers of
America. Finally giving in to the inevitable, she abandoned her day job in
order to self-publish the kind of stories she likes to read and write. She
hopes you like them, too.
