You fell in love with Jack, just like I did. Your messages, your encouragement and your support continue to mean so much to me everyday; on the best days and especially the difficult days. Thank you to my Assistant, Julie Burke, who has the thankless task of trying to keep me organized (so if you ordered or won a book, requested a turtle tattoo, or just needed an answer for something – and got it? Chances are Julie reminded me). The list goes on though: teasers? She made them. Facebook banners? Yep. Inside scoop on Clare and Jamie/ #SamCat? Yep. Staying up until 2 am to watch The Wedding Episode with me? She’s awesome. AND she’s an incredible person to boot. And Lisa Wilhelm, my wonderful friend, supporter and Street Team admin (along with Julie), purveyor of color-coded candy and supplies (all in my favorite color). You’re amazing. I’m so lucky to know you. Thank you for everything you so. Kate Roth. When you said you’d bundle a Christmas novella with me you made my year. And your cover is stunning!
