Acknowledgments

As always, thank you to my agent, Jessica Faust. I continue to be amazed by and grateful for you.

A special thank-you to two editor Hannahs, Hannah Braaten and Hannah O’Grady. I can’t believe how fortunate I am to know and have worked with both of you.

Isn’t this cover amazing? Thank you to Jonathan Bush, the cover designer, who even hand lettered the words. You are so talented.

Thanks to copyeditor Ivy McFadden.

Any mistakes I made and any exaggerations I might have included, particularly about ice caves, are mine alone and things I thought necessary for the story line.

As I finish up the edits of this book, the world is in the middle of unreal events. I’m sure that most writers hope to offer readers an escape, perhaps something else to think about while we’re staying home, staying safe. Writing these stories certainly helps me cope. If I could have a wish, it would be that reading them also offers some sort of break from reality. Thank you, readers, for coming along for the ride.

My family has been my rock. Thank you to Charlie, Tyler, and Lauren—and even Lola. I love you all, so very much.
