I owe a million good graces to:

LT. GERALD GILL

My professional legal advisor. Your two sides - both police officer and lawyer - come in very handy to me when I have issues or questions. Thank you for your willingness to make an appearance as one of my characters, and I'm still denying all responsibility for that scene. Don't know where it came from.

MARIA GONZALEZ

My junior legal advisor. Thanks for the help keeping my fiction as realistic as possible when it came to legal matters. And thanks for any real-life legal matters I may need you to get me out of in the future.

MIRANDA MOTT

My motivator. I don't know how many times I can hear (or read) "Where's the rest?!?!" I give you something you just watched me write, and the only feedback I get is, "Where's the rest?" You're terrible. But it keeps me going, so don't ever stop.

ERIN GALLAGHER

My other motivator. Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments and for helping me find inspiration to finish something I'd given up on. I don't know how you did it, I think it was just by showing so much interest, but I appreciate it.

BECKY MILLER

My favorite editor. Once I've read something 89 million times, I start to skim, especially if I wrote it, so I already know what it says. You take the time to read everything one word at a time, and your IM's help me make my stories much more coherent to everyone. Thanks.

TONYA BAKER

It might seem weird that I'm going out of my way to thank you, and this is probably going to sound ridiculously intense, but thank you so much for helping me out with setting up my own domain, and for all the encouragement during that move.

MY CRAZY FRIENDS

To those of you who'd probably rather not have your names mentioned here, who'd probably rather not admit that you read my stories... Thanks anyway. I love hearing you ask me (when no one else is around) if I've updated. Happy reading to you.

JC CHASEZ, JOSEPH FATONE, CHRIS KIRKPATRICK, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, LANCE BASS, ISAAC HANSON, TAYLOR HANSON, ZAC HANSON

Without these men doing what they do best and following their dreams, I would have no one to write fanfic about. Mr. Chasez in particular is one of the most talented writers and singers I've ever heard, which is why I find myself so drawn to writing about him.

THE NOW DEFUNCT BUFFALO SCREAM SQUAD

Well, you started it all. With Love & Tears, you were always there, telling me I should put it online. So I did, and where did I go from there? Several more novels, a series, a batch of short stories, and a whole personal website. Even if we're not a band of Hanson FrEaKs anymore, you're still my original readers, and I'll always love you.

MY CIRCLE OF AFFILIATES

This is going to sound ridiculously sappy, but it means a lot to me to have all you ladies out there. It's like my whole fiction world changed once I got involved with all of you. Back in the day, it was cut and dried - you read a story, you move on. Maybe you'd email some feedback. But now, with everyone working together and supporting each other...it's like I was missing out on so much.

MY READERS- OLD & NEW

You've been listed last, but you're definitely not least. It's all of you who keep these stories, and this whole site, up. If I came online & didn't have a demand for updating, I would stop. So thank you.
