But I still have a lot of things to be grateful for and here now is a list of all the things that have made 2012 special.
1: My mom and best friend. I don't know what I'd do without her to laugh with. She's an angel on Earth.
2: N.J. Walters. This woman is amazing. She's an author but she's also a dear friend who always seems to know when I'm down and she does something to cheer me up. For Christmas she sent me THE most beautiful card ever and she made the card herself. It wasn't store-bought.
3: Kevin Hopson and Rose Oliveri. Both of these wonderful people have helped Mom and me through some really rough patches and I love them dearly for it.
4: Glenn Kleier. He is a constant source of friendship and support. When we moved into our new place he sent a couple of housewarming gifts that brought smiles to our faces.
5: Laura Stamps. I LOVE this woman. She helped mom and I when we desperately needed to feel safe. And she also sent us a housewarming gift. I am so grateful I joined Twitter just to have met this woman.
6: Mamabear & Spatz. My two adorable kitties. They are the ones I totally credit with bringing Mom and me out of a depression after having to move a second time.
7: Lea Schizas. She's my publisher but also a dear friend and we talk to her on the phone a lot. She's been there for me and for Mom through many of our more recent difficult times.
8: Litsa Kamateros: Our marketing director and the sweetest woman you could ever know. She too has been there for us and is a wonderful friend.
9: Gail Branan. This woman is wonderful and she helped in ways I can't express when we desperately needed it and thought we were alone.
10: Suzi Safi. I love this woman. She is the sweetest person ever. She's a dear friend whom I treasure and I wish I still lived close enough to visit. I miss you angel girl!
11: Charlotte Volnek. She is a dear friend who's kept my secrets even while she let me unload my troubles on her shoulder. Love you C.K.
12: Marion Sipe. I cherish this woman for making my mom smile. Best gift ever that I could receive.
13: Sara Durham. She has been a true friend for several years now and I am so grateful for her.
14: Nancy, Chris and Greta, my three editors. These ladies are wonderful and I adore each and every single one of them.
15: Emmy Ellis. I have known this woman for several years and she's a sweetheart and so much fun. Wish I lived in England.:-)
16: Tanja. She's been a dear friend and confidant to both my mother and me. I love you sweetie.
There are so many more, too many to count but I want you all to know just how much I cherish you. Happy New Year and may 2013 be an amazing year for us all.

You are a treasure, my darling daughter, and have thanked people that have become more than friends since we came out of hiding in August 2008. It's hard to believ we've only been a part of this new world since then.
I love you Kat, from the depths of my soul. Thank you for being you.

I hope you and Lin have a fabulous 2013. Thank you for including me on your list. And I'm so glad you liked the card.
Was there ever a doubt you'd be on my list NJ?:-) And I adore the card.
Kat and Lin, both are the most wonderful and kind ladies I have ever known. I love you and thank you for the beautiful surprise, and to think of me as a special person in your life is just priceless. Love Ya!

Aww don't cry Gail.:-)
Ah Kat, I too feel honored to have been mentioned in your 'thankful for' post! We have all grown together at Muse, and I value you and your mom's friendship immensely because it extends beyond promo and other stuff. It is special because we as writers need this bond with other writers, that we can't always have with our family and other friends:)
Wishing you and your Mom a healthy and prosperous New Year, full of lots of little blessings!
Luv and hugs, Sara
