Brooklyn Monroe Wants It All by Karen Booth

Acknowledgments

I worked on this book off and on for over three years. It was actually supposed to be the book before Gray Hair Don’t Care, but sometimes things don’t happen the way you first plan them. I will do my extra best to remember everyone who helped me along the way. I hope I don’t forget anyone! If I do, I’m sorry, and I will promptly beg for your forgiveness. As soon as you point it out to me.

First, I’d like to thank my husband Steve, and kids, Emily & Ryan, for being the best part of my life and for showing me so much enthusiastic support.

To all my author friends, thank you for being such a bright spot. The last few years have been hard for us all, and so many of you have helped me get across the finish line, book after book. To my agent, Melissa Jeglinski, thank you for believing in me and for not being afraid to be honest. To cover illustrator Leni Kauffman, thank you for bringing this entire series to life so brilliantly. I am in constant awe of your talent. To Donna Soluri, Jill Westwood, and Karen Stivali, thank you for being my next-level alpha readers on this book. To Jennifer Gracen for jumping in at a moment’s notice with your ace editorial skills. To the folks at Tantor Media for bringing this project to life as an audiobook.

To my girlfriends Sara, Ashley, Lisa, Frine, Cara, Donna, and Stephanie for solidly encouraging me on a daily basis. To Val and all members of the Backstage Antics group on Facebook, thank you for being so understanding when I disappear for extended periods of time because I’m writing. And thank you for reading. I need take that for granted. To Maggie Wells, Natasha Moore, and Sandra Antonelli, as well as all members of the Seasoned Romance Facebook group, thank you for bringing the enthusiasm for romance with characters who are finding their HEA later in life.

Last, but absolutely not least, thank you to everyone who has ever bought, read, or reviewed one of my books. I couldn’t do what I do without you!
