I want to show you guys how much I appreciate you, because I don't think you understand.

You are the reason I love what I do.

What is a writer without readers? Someone endlessly babbling about inconsequential things that no one cares about. You make me more than an OCD grammar freak that loves Kpop. I really appreciate that.

(I mean I really appreciate that.)

You guys shape the story just as much as I do with your input, support, love, and sheer kindness for staying with me through thick and thin.

As I posted on my message board, someone very dear to me passed away this week, but the comments you guys left on my page were overflowing with thoughts and compassion.

I just wanted you to know:

You are what inspires me.

You make me love what I'm passionate about more than I ever thought I could. You make me want to do better, work harder, and be the best that I can be.

There aren't a lot of things in this world that can do that to me.

You do that.

This book is in honor of you

and of all that you do

and the things that you say to help me get through

Struggles and hardships are made easy with your hearts

Backing me from the beginning, from the first. From the start,

the role you play has been an integral part

of my passion as a writer. No one can compare

to the might of my readers - of your sincerity and your care.
