There With You by Samantha Young

 

Acknowledgments

Living in Ardnoch with the Adair siblings continues to be a beautiful escape from a difficult year, and I hope it provides a wonderful escape for my readers too.

For the most part, writing is a solitary endeavor, but publishing most certainly is not. I have to thank my wonderful editor Jennifer Sommersby Young for always, always being there to help make me a better writer and storyteller.

Thank you to Julie Deaton for jumping on to proofread There With You in the final hours! I appreciate it so much and thank you for catching those sneaky Britishisms that creep into my American characters’ dialogue now and then.

And thank you to my bestie and PA extraordinaire Ashleen Walker for handling all the little things and supporting me through everything. I appreciate you so much. Love you lots!

I want to say a huge thank you to Catherine Cowles, who not only let me to ramble on and on about Regan and Thane’s story for weeks, lol, but was also so generous with her time as to read an early copy of their romance. You are an amazing light of support and kindness in the book community (and beyond!), Catherine, and I’m so very grateful for your friendship!

The life of a writer doesn’t stop with the book. Our job expands beyond the written word to marketing, advertising, graphic design, social media management, and more. Help from those in the know goes a long way. A huge thank-you to Nina Grinstead at Valentine PR for your encouragement, support, insight and advice. You’re a star!

Thank you to every single blogger, Instagrammer, and book lover who has helped spread the word about my books. You all are appreciated so much! On that note, a massive thank-you to the fantastic readers in my private Facebook group, Sam’s Clan McBookish. You’re truly special and the loveliest readers a girl could ask for! Your continued and ceaseless support is awe-inspiring and I’m so grateful for you all.

A massive thank-you to Hang Le for once again creating a stunning cover that establishes the perfect visual atmosphere for this story and this series. You amaze me!

As always, thank you to my agent Lauren Abramo for making it possible for readers all over the world to find my words. You’re phenomenal, and I’m so lucky to have you!

A huge thank-you to my family and friends for always supporting and encouraging me, and for listening to me talk, sometimes in circles, about the worlds I live in.

Finally, to you, thank you for reading. It means the everything to me.
