Priest is a bit of a special book for me. It’s my first contemporary romance, my first standalone, and definitely my first time writing about a holy man! I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my readers and my favorite bloggers—chiefly the Dirty Laundry and Literary Gossip crew. You girls are so patient with me juggling multiple personalities while also being a hermit crab. I love you.
Priest would also not be here without my early readers and critique partners, Laurelin Paige (my sometimes bedmate and always soulmate), Melanie Harlow (Father Bell’s biggest fan), and Kayti McGee (who kept me encouraged with her dimpled enthusiasm.)
It would also not be here without the bleeping fantastic editing of Tamara Mataya and the sage advice of Geneva Lee, not to mention the ladies who Order me around.
And finally, this book would not be here without the sexy, patient man I’m married to, who perfected every type of Hamburger Helper to feed our kids while I wrote this book.
