Easy

of my time, waiting for my free moments so you can persuade me to interact like a normal human being. I’m eternally grateful for your understanding of what makes me who I am.
    Thank you Stephanie Mooney for beautifying the cover I dreamed up. It’s perfect . Thank you Stephanie Lott for your editing skill… so sorry about that eye tick you developed on that one thing.
    To the girls of FP: I could have never imagined such a thing. You are all miracles, individually and together, and I’m in awe of each and every one of you. Thank you for your strength, love, acceptance, and empathetic ears. Write on.
    To those who relate to any part of this story—if you haven’t told, tell. Even if it’s been months, years, decades. Tell someone . We remain silent because we’ve taken on a responsibility and/or a shame that was never ours to carry. Forgive yourself for things that were not your fault. Bad decisions, mistaken trust, physical weakness, or too much fear to act do not make an assault on you or someone you care about your fault. Ever .
    If at all possible, please find a professional to help you sort it all out. Every college campus has counselors available for students—usually free of charge, and always confidential. Communities often offer free or low-cost counseling for the victims of assault and those who love them. Hotlines and online support, local and national, are available as well.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Reading was one of my first and earliest loves, and writing soon followed. My first book was about a lost bear, but my lack of ability as an illustrator convinced me to abandon that effort and concentrate on passing 3rd grade. I wrote sad romantic poetry in high school and penned my first half-novel when I was 19, for which I did lots of research on Vikings (the marauders, not the football team), and which was accidentally destroyed when I stuffed it into the shredder at work.

    Addictions: coffee and Cherry Garcia frozen yogurt. Also carrots, but not with coffee or frozen yogurt, because that would be disgusting. I also love shopping for earrings, because they always fit - even if I occasionally "forget" to work out. I'm a hopeful romantic who adores novels with happy endings, because there are enough sad endings in real life.
