Being Elsie's Developmental Editor is something I will always be proud of. She has found an enchanting recipe that works. Having such a small part in the Chestnut Spring series myself makes me want to squeal like a teenager.

Her words, simple but soft, fill you with hope, excitement, romance, and you grow to care for these characters like they are real people. You can hardly control it. It truly is like watching a master at work. One of the few romance authors I still love.

Elsie, seeing you grow this big brings me the most joy I have ever experienced. Seeing a friend, a mentor and an author I love be this successful because of her own hard work, creativity and persistence is the most awesome thing.

You guys are going to fall deeply in love with Beau, just like I did.
