Thank you…

We are getting to that time of year when we are supposed to be enjoying our friends and family but are instead scurrying from here to there without a second thought because we are so busy trying to get everything done for the holidays whether it be decorate, wrap presents, everyday life obligations, remembering to thank the Elf of the Shelf for appearing, scouring Pinterest to see why our homemade gift looks nothing like our pin does, finishing a book (<—that would be me)…it’s so crazy that we never stop to take a moment to breathe…and then you don’t even have a moment to breathe because the stress you feel is holding it hostage…

SO…I am taking that moment right now to say a few words to you all before I can’t see straight from my personal chaos that three little ones create…Forgive me if I get a little sentimental but, well, you know that’s how I am.

This year has been crazy in so many ways I can’t even begin to remember it all. I mean, I went from the highest high of hitting #2 on the New York Times as an indie author with Crashed to one day later my son being paralyzed (Thank you to those who still ask about his health. He is about 99.5% recovered now)…talk about life teaching you where your priorities need to be. I went from being banned from Amazon with my short story UnRaveled in the Bend Anthology (which I will forever feel guilty for regardless of how many times the ladies in the anthology tell me to shush up) to signing a traditional book deal with Penguin books to bring you Slow Burn and Sweet Ache. I went from Raced hitting USA Today bestsellers list to being scared to death to turn in Slow Burn to my editor for the fear that it wasn’t going to be ‘enough’ for a traditional book on shelves in stores. And then what happens? I get asked to sign on for another book. Crazy stuff, I tell you. If you would have asked me two years ago if I ever thought this would have been my life, I would have laughed. Being an author was something that little chubby girl, who sat on the grass with her notebook in her hand, dreamt of and never thought was going to happen. Never. 

Even with all of those surreal moments, one of the bests parts of the year was befriending and getting to meet so many of you. So many of these moments spent with you will be something I will always cherish even if this author thing doesn’t pan out. From the signings in Los Angeles to Cleveland to Book Bash to New York to Oklahoma City to Las Vegas…you ladies know how to spoil me. I truly am the luckiest author out there. You are all so passionate about these books and characters and support me no matter what direction I try to take on this journey…it’s truly overwhelming…So at this time of year when we thank and spend time with our loved ones, I just want to make sure to let you know that I consider you all a part of my extended family. I truly do. (My husband even knows some of your names). 

Think of this as my Season’s Greetings card to you and your family. Wishing you a happy holidays and a memorable 2015!

I RACE YOU!

Kristy

(I could make 25 more of these collages with all of the memories I have from 2014, so forgive me if I left you out, but Sweet Ache needs to get finished!)

  18. Thank you for your wonderful creativity and writing. Yes, I am one of those women who cannot say no, and sometimes want to cry. But……your books let me curl up with a glass of wine and escape. So, Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and Happy Holidays!!!! Keep on doin, what’s ya doin girl, cuz you basically have saved me many times.

  19. Kristy this is exactly why I adore you so much. Despite how huge you have become, you remain humble. And real. Very, very real. I admire you for taking the leap of faith into the author world and I also thank you for that, because I can’t imagine not having C & R enter my life.

    Happy holidays to you and yours!

  22. Ahhhh, Kristy, what a journey it has been for you…..to dream and to realize your dreams come true! It really could not have happened to a more deserving person. I want to thank you for your stories, the numerous long, sleepless nights and still always having those cherished moments to share yourself with your readers even, when you are stressed to the max. FLove you #SwissMissAwesomeauthorKristy <3 Wishing you the peace, love and joy of the season and throughout the coming year!

  23. Kristy-even is this author thing doesn't pan out???? Are you kidding??? When your next books hit the NY Times best seller list I'm going to have a quiet chuckle to myself. Because they are going to, and the best part is you are going to be just as humble when they do! We race you Kristy!

  24. You write such beautiful words Kristy! I am always so amazed every time I see you have posted or responded to what someone else has posted. You are so grounded and such a kind thoughtful person. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season full of happiness, laughter and lots of love. Best wishes for the new year! I dont post often but love to read what others write, but i felt you deserve to hear from all you fans! :)PS – glad to hear your son has made almost a 100% recovery. **HAPPY HOLIDAYS*** Love love love your books!!!!!!

  25. Kristy- It seems strange to speak to you as if I know you but I feel I do. I stumbled across these books and “fell in Love” with all of your characters. I have read and re-read them all. I loved every word. I know you have been challenged but you have come through it and there is more success to come. Having seen my share of challenges this year as well – losing my sweet dad this summer and having some serious health challenges ahead – your books have been a place of escape for me. I was that chubby girl too and long to write something so compelling that it touches so many souls – But for now I will read your words and thank you with all my heart for giving us all such a gift.
    Wishing you the most peaceful and joyous holiday season. Race U TOO

  26. Kristy Bromberg we are so blessed to have been blessed by you as a writer, as I feel blessed to have been able to have been able to read your work. God willing we will both be able to continue on with the journey

  27. No, Thank You. Because without you, there would be no Colton & Rylee, no VP Pit Crew, no fan-fanatics to follow you. And because of that I wish you an even better 2015. Wish you were coming to Booking in Biloxi, Biloxi Mississippi March 7th. That would be awesome too. I R♥ce you. Hope your Christmas is fantastic!

  28. Kristy your books were a a blessing for me for very personal reasons. 2014 was a very challenging year with family issues that are to complicated to go into, your books very more than a welcome distraction. I fell in love with your words and couldn’t get enough of the story, and the characters you created. Then I met you during the book signing in New York and you impressed me even more with your warmth and kindness. So a big thank you lady, for giving me this gift in your stories and for taking time from writing to give us a thank you. I race you kristy Bromberg and best wishes to you and yours.

  29. You are an amazing person. I am in a wheelchair and you are a connection to the outside world for me. You have helped me get stronger and now can take some steps.
    I pray for your son to be 100% by the new year.
    Have a wonderful holiday and may it continue throughout the new year.
