New Forever Page 21


  Jill, who I will always call my horny pie. I adore you! You are an amazing friend – you’re always there to talk to and make me laugh when I feel like screaming. And as a PA, you kick huge ass! I’d be lost without you. One of the best parts about this whole writing and self-publishing business has been finding and befriending you.

  Lee, you are the cream filling to my Oreos. Wait, that sounds disturbing. I can do better. You are the cheese to my macaroni, the bubbles to my bath, the shark to my ocean. You get the point. You’re one of my very best friends and one of the few people I can be myself around. I love you! Thank you for being as strange as me. Please don’t screen shot anything we chat about.

  Neeny, wonderful, sweet Neeny! What can I say? Without you, I would have given up on New Forever. Thank you for your suggestions and endless well of encouragement and support.

  Mary, you are the epitome of awesome! Thank you for your endless supply of support. But mostly thank you for your friendship, which was strengthened when I found out you love Loki just as much as I do.

  My stories would suck huge donkey balls if it weren’t for my beta readers so thank you to the girls mentioned above as well as Kelly and Jennifer. I love you girls to the moon and back.

  Jennifer Tovar, editor extraordinaire at Gypsy Heart Editing, your suggestions were on point and made New Forever into something I’m proud of. Thank you a hundred times over!

  My Sadistic Sweethearts – all the girls mentioned above as well as, Kelly G, Maria, Lisa, Carmen, Gemma, Rhiannon, Stephanie – you girls brighten my day. Thank you for not only your support and crazy pimping, but most importantly your friendship. I love our chats and can’t wait to one day meet you all in person.

  LJ, my cover designer at Mayhem Cover Creations, thank you once again for creating the perfect cover.

  My readers, thank you! I’d love nothing more than to sit down with a bottle of wine with each of you so I can properly thank you for taking a chance on my stories. And then I’d hug your necks and probably cry on your shoulder.

  Yessi Smith lives in South Florida with her husband, seven year old son and newborn baby. She is also owned by a neurotic Border Collie and “ferocious” Rottweiler.

  She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s in Human Resource Management and has held several jobs, from picking up dog poop to upper management positions. And now she hopes to leave the business world behind so she can live full time in a world that does not exist until she places her fingers on a keyboard and brings them to fruition.

  She is the proud Momma of Life’s A Cappella and Love, Always
