Rediscovering Peace (Military Love Book 1) (30 page)

About the author

Steffy Rogers is a self-professed bookaholic who is fluent in English, German and Sarcasm.

When she isn’t working or going to school she spends her free time writing.

She makes a home in a very small town in Georgia with her dog Karma.

However, her heart belongs in Germany, where she lived for twenty years before returning to the USA.

Though her memories of Germany are blurry due to the delicious beer, she knows one day she will return home for good.

Acknowledgments

Mama
– I can’t even begin to tell you how much your unconditional love and support means to me. When others didn’t, you always believed in me. No matter what life throws at me, I know you will always be by my side to help me pick up the pieces. Everything I am, I am because of your support, your love and your guidance. I love you more than words can ever say.

Friends and Family –
Thank you for not telling me how absolutely ridiculous this idea was. Every single one of you has been nothing but supportive. I am so thankful for that. I can’t tell you enough how much this means to me and how much I love you.

Suzanne
– I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. You were by my side from Day 1 and I treasure our friendship a lot. You made my cover idea come to life, cheered me up when I had a down day and were just overall spectacular in all this. I appreciate everything you have done for me. You’re a rockstar and I wubs you to the moon and back!

Elle
– I love you despite your lack of reading Harry Potter – you really don’t know what you’re missing!! You’re one of the sweetest people I know and your love for my books makes my heart happy. #BradenIsElles, here I’ve said it. You have your evidence on black and white. :) Now, we are going to have to talk about your hatred of Backstreet Boys. I mean how can you NOT love Nick Carter??? I still love you though.

Lisa
– You don’t even know how much I adore you. You crack me up on a daily basis. When I am having a bad day I can always rely on you to make me feel better. Your friendship means the world to me. Thank you for joining me on this crazy ride! Love you lady. I can’t wait to tackle hug you in Nashy!

Emily
– Despite our little banters about Luke (He’s mine) you somehow wiggled your way into my heart. Bringing you on to my team has been one of the best decisions I have made. I love all your little comments you leave me and I’m thankful that you decided to give me a shot! Who knew that a little banter could turn into the beginning of a great friendship? I heart you big time!

Kathy
– My wonderful editor. I thank my lucky stars every day that you took on a newbie. I was terrified when I sent you the first draft but you took my fear away from me. Working with you is easy and I couldn’t ask for a better person to edit my baby. You rock and I can’t wait to see what you think of the second book! I love you.

Damien’s Darkside Divas
– A year ago I didn’t know “book groups” existed. And then I found you. Without you wonderful ladies, I would’ve never started this journey. Your friendships and support mean the world to me and I will forever treasure them! I can’t wait for Nashville so I can hug you ladies! #DivasWillRuleNashy

Billie & Lori
– Have I said thank you lately? I still can’t believe you guys actually agreed to be my cover models! You did an amazing job and I love the cover so much! You have no idea how much this meant to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Shelly
– Where do I even start? I remember your first message “Did I just like your Author page?” and it’s been on ever since. You have been my rock through this crazy ride. Finding you has definitely been a blessing! I can’t wait to see what else our friendship holds! Thank you for loving Braden & Skye and for all the advice you have given me along the way! I can’t wait for BookSplash in February! I love you hard. #PIC #BookSplash2016 #AuthorFriends

Jon
– you will probably never read this, but I want everyone to know how important you are to me. You’re the best friend I could’ve asked for and I’m thankful every day that you walked into my life five years ago. You are my rock and the one person I always lean on. I know you think I am crazy, but so are you. Thanks for being my friend. I love you my dear brother from another mother.

Steffy’s Awesome Nerds
– I giggle a little every time I read the name of this group. I want to thank you for all your support and believing in me. It means the world to me. I still can’t grasp that there are people who are actually excited to read this book. You ladies are indeed awesome nerds!

To my readers
– Thank you for taking a chance on a new author. I hope you loved the story as much as I loved writing it. Never in my dreams did I imagine that I would actually put my heart and soul out there for others to read! I couldn’t do it without you! So thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support!

Kari
– Words can’t describe how much I love this cover. You did a fabulous job to make the picture come to life. Thank you so much!

Bloggers
– Thank you for all the pimping and help in spreading the word! It means everything to me. Keep doing what you’re doing, because you rock!
