Acknowledgments

Thank you, readers, for continuing to encourage me to write my stories! Crafting exciting adventures and creating characters to love and hate is even more fun when I know there are readers like you enjoying them.

Thank you to my family for your patience. All five of us were COVID-bound together while I wrote this, and we all had to work together to find space and peace. May all of us, family and readers, stay safe!

Thank you to my fabulous agent, Kevan Lyon, for always being in my corner and to all the wonderful historical authors who are my friends and brilliant advisors. To my editor, the Alethea Spiridon at Entangled Publishing, thank you for coming back! I’m thrilled to be working with you again!

Also…

At the end of each of my books, I ask that you, my awesome readers, please remind yourselves of the whispered symptoms of ovarian cancer. I am now a nine-year survivor, one of the lucky ones. Please don’t rely on luck. If you experience any of these symptoms consistently for three weeks or more, go see your GYN.
