First, dear reader, thank you for reading! You are the reason I write, and the reason I can continue to write. And an extra thank you if you leave an honest review on your retailer of choice. ♥

Mom—thank you again for being my faithful reader, fan, and proofreader.

Thanks to Dad for always being proud of me, even when you’re not quite sure what’s going on.

Rebecca, Jessica, and Sylvia—thank you for your constant support and boosting me when I’m discouraged or overwhelmed.

Thank you, Alexis, for reading an early draft and for being an amazing, supportive friend and dealing with my randomness.

Mr. E, thank you for reading my drafts and always being excited to talk about writing, stories, and publishing over a cup of tea.

Becky, thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement and willingness to listen when publishing is confusing and hard.

Jenni, I appreciate your listening ear and constant readiness to chat, let me rant, or celebrate with me.

Rowan, THANK YOU for your incredible CP-ing of book one!

Janice, Claire, and Verity, thank you so much for beta reading!

To all my family who have bought copies, shared about it, and otherwise been so loving and supportive (and not just of publishing, but throughout my life), thank you. You’ve helped me so much.

Thank you to my reader group for all your excitement!

So much gratitude to the fun, amazing, encouraging, and supportive community on bookstragram.

To everyone who has helped or encouraged me on this journey, know that I’m thankful for you!

Finally, praise and thanks to God and Jesus Christ, with whom all things are possible.
