Into the Deep - Young Samantha. Страница 62

For as it turned out, Jake Caplin was a bit of a masochist.

Or maybe, no matter how much the evidence told him otherwise, Jake just couldn’t give up on the idea that there would always be a Jake and Charley.

Jake and Charley’s story hit me like a freight train one day, and their connection was so epic I had to drop everything to write it down on paper. I want to thank my mum for listening to me prattle incessantly about their story, and for giving me much needed feedback on the first draft.

A huge thank you to my agent Lauren Abramo, for not only always working incredibly hard for me and my work, but for also providing me with valued creative advice regarding Into the Deep. Your support and enthusiasm never fails to blow me away, Lauren.

The final edition of this book wouldn’t be nearly so polished if it wasn’t for the eagle eye of my immensely talented editor Jennifer Sommersby Young. Jenn, thank you! You put up with my obsession with adverbs so patiently, and your input into shaping this work was invaluable. You rock my wordy world!

I’d also like to thank my Hellcats, not only for their constant support, but for their opinions when I was playing around with font for this cover. You are so patient and kind and I love all your guts!

I always like to thank at least one blogger. I mean, I thank you all because you’re all phenomenal, however, I’d especially like to thank Natasha Tomic of Natasha is a Book Junkie. Natasha, you go above and beyond, and your enthusiasm and support really means everything to us authors. Thank you.

And finally to my readers, thank you for everything. I love your guts, too.
