ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to the Bedazzled Ink team for curing me (and Katia’s story) of exclamationmarkitis, and helping to make this novel the best it can be.
Thank you to everyone who read earlier versions of this novel and let me know I was on the right track.
Thank you, as always, to my Cloudie buddies, who have helped me on so much more than just Katia’s story.
Thank you to Family Squidge, who are (nearly) always ready to listen to my thoughts on plotting or character or dialogue or any other ideas I need to run past someone . . .
And a last thank you to everyone who takes a chance on a little-known author and decides to read this book.
