Passion and Ponies

Acknowledgements

First and foremost, thank you to Janet Burns for being the best assistant a girl could ever ask for. Your love and support means the world to me and I’m so thankful to have you in my life.

Thank you to C.C. Wood for being the light in my life and my inspiration. You are my hero, and the wind beneath my wings.

To Beth Ehemann for telling me I don’t suck and for being a wonderful friend. I’m so glad I met you and found out we were separated at birth, as well as our husbands.

To Stephanie Johnson for being an amazing human being, a great friend and the best cookie whore in the entire world.

Thank you to Robin Stranahan for being the best assistant in NOLA and for all the MLP gifts, especially the Brony documentary. I love your face!

Special thanks to the women from Pure Romance of Cincinnati for giving me a tour of the warehouse, and inspiration for this book…especially turkey giblets.

Thank you to Valerie Potjeau, Christie Silva, Tressa Sager and Jamie Sager Hall for bringing dolphin rape awareness into the public light.

To Rapey the Dolphin for providing the answers to all of life’s questions.

Thank you to the fans all over the world for embracing the craziness of these characters and for allowing me to release the insanity in my brain to the pages of a book.

Thank you to my nephew for not being afraid to be a Brony and for letting me poke just a little bit of fun at you.

Thank you to Donna and Nikki for your amazing support and for not running away in fear when you read my manuscripts. And my texts. And my emails. Mostly my texts.

Last but not least, to my poor family who have five-minute conversations with me before I even realize they’ve been talking. Thank you for loving me even when I forget your names and I start taking notes about stories in the middle of dinner.
