My thanks go out to the many people who helped me with this book along the way:
My SF/F critique group, Written in Blood, specifically Juliette Wade, Aliette de Bodard, Genevieve Williams, and Keyan Bowes. And my historical romance critique group, Romancing History, whose members include Allison Merritt, Faye Delacour, Allison Gordon, and Leone Millar. You all have been fabulously supportive of me and my writing.
My editor, Dario Ciriello, and his infinite patience with my obsessive misuse of the word "startled".
A special thanks to Amanda Siemen, who gave me notes that helped me get this cleaned up in the final stretch.
All of the good folks at Colorado Romance Writers, who have been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement.
And finally my thanks to the Facebook Mexica History group, for teaching me so much about Aztec history.
