As always, to my family and to Blue Moon Circle…you ladies inspire every book I write!
Big love to the two folks responsible for the new brooms I got to celebrate this book: Bobbie Hodges, who gifted me with the perfect ritual broom, and Julie from Way of the Cauldron (on Etsy) who created a lovely decorative broom especially for me. I love them both!
With love and appreciation to my fabulous editors, Elysia Gallo and Rebecca Zins, who always make me look good, and to my agent, Elaine Spencer, for taking care of the nitty-gritty details so I am free to create instead.
To Skye and all the other Betties (you know who you are), with special thanks to the amazing Sierra Meinster for the research help. Any mistakes are mine, because she’s just fab.
And to Lisa, because you couldn’t ask for a better critique partner, cheerleader, witch, or friend.
But most of all, to you, my readers, who always ask, “When are you going to write the next one?” and say such nice things when I do. I feel very blessed.
Extra-Special Thanks
To all the authors who cheerfully added a bit of their own wisdom to mine when I sent them a message saying, “Hey, I had this idea! Would you be willing to share how you use broom magick?” Y’all rock. (Check out their books—they really do rock!)
