As a kid, I was obsessed with ghosts. I devoured stories about ‘The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall’, ‘No.50 Berkeley Square’, ‘The Tulip Staircase’, ‘The Winchester House’, ‘The Bell Witch’, etc. My favorite ride? The Haunted Mansion in Disney World, of course. So, I’ve always wanted to write a haunted house story, but I had a lot of help.
Thank you, Abigail Fenton over at Harper Collins/HQ for your guidance and patience on getting Nightingale House out into the world. There’s no one I trust more with these stories.
Thank you, Sandy Comstock. I wanted to make Daniel’s grief a form of haunting, because I feel that’s what grief is, and you helped me put Nicole in the Nightingale House.
Thank you, Deborah Griffieth for Rebecca’s voice. I can’t imagine what this book would be like without your contributions.
And finally, thank you, Stephanie Frech, for reading me all those ghost stories when we were kids.
