Acknowledgments
Readers: Thanks so much for welcoming Cora Chevalier and Jane Starr into your reading lives. I’m thrilled you love them as much as I do.
Special thanks to my editor, Martin Biro, and my publicist, Morgan Elwell, both of whom go above and beyond the call of duty. Much gratitude goes to the whole Kensington team. From the gorgeous covers to the fun social media graphics, your hard work is so appreciated. Thank you!
A heartfelt thanks goes to my beta readers, Amber Benson, Jennifer Feller, and Mary Sproles Martin, who give their time, energy, and opinions freely to read my early drafts.
I’d like to thank a few bookstore owners who have been extremely supportive of both my series. Mary Katherine Froelich, owner of the beloved Stone Soup Books and Café in my hometown of Waynesboro, Virginia (now an online concern), and event planner extraordinaire, and Kelly Justice of Fountain Books in Richmond, who always includes me in signings and watches for my books. Both women are so supportive to writers and the book community. Thank you, ladies!
A special nod to my new agent, Jill Marsal. Here’s to many years of a great partnership.
To the loves of my life, my husband and daughters, thank you seems hardly enough, but there it is.
