From the moment I was sitting on the bed of a wonderful Airbnb in Portland, Maine, on my birthday with the guestbook in my hand, and had an idea, to this moment of you holding it in your hands, a lot of blood, sweat, tears, coffee, and ink went into Dark Hollows. Sure, it’s my name on the cover, but it doesn’t happen without the help of a lot of people.
Thank you, Mom, Dad, Amanda, and Stephanie, for all your love and support and asking for more pages. Thank you, Victoria Skurnick at the Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency for your hard work. Thank you, Deborah Griffith, for catching all those phrases and word slips. Thank you, Olivia Hernandez, for helping me find my way through the woods.
And finally, a huge thanks to Abigail Fenton and the entire team at HQ and HarperCollins. You saw Dark Hollows for what it was and your passion, support, and guidance were everything a debut author could dream of. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
