The Romeo Club

I want to thank my daughter Erin, who bugged me until I wrote this story. Between her and my sister Rachel, they made sure I didn’t let this idea slip through the cracks. Then there’s my lovely agent, Jennifer Mishler, who is the champion of my stories. Thank you for letting me chat your ear off and have online Lightsaber battles via Twitter. You’re truly TeamLC’s Yoda! I also don’t know where I’d be without my Romeo, Tim who is ever supportive of my dream to write. I love you. To my kids, Devin, Alyssa, Kris, Barrett, Erin, and Chase who give me lots of great material to write about. To my FAB critique group YAFF (Ya Fiction Fanatics), who are the ones who truly make my stories better. They see the roughest versions of what I write and turn them into something magical. I love you ladies! And I can’t forget to thank my brother Phil, who inspired my ultimate nerd, C.C. Love you bro! Also a heartfelt shout out to Georgia McBride, who read this story over a weekend and loved it enough to offer me a contract for it. Thank you so much for introducing my cast of crazy characters to the world! Finally to Mom and Dad who bought me my first books, which fueled my love for the written word. See, staying up late and reading a book under my covers with a flashlight WAS a good idea.
