Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank all those who had a hand in bringing this book to publication. I’m incredibly grateful to my agent, Dawn Dowdle, for helping me find a home for this series at Crooked Lane Books.

Thanks to the people who work diligently to bring it all together. To the team at Crooked Lane Books: Melissa Rechter, who picked up the ball and made the transition to a new editor a smooth one. The illustrator, Mary Ann Lasher, for the gorgeous cover, Madeline Rathle for marketing, and the copyeditors and proofreaders who make the book shine.

To Jackie Shephard, who is always willing to beta read and is eager to get the word out on an upcoming release, you’re a rock star! A big shout-out to my Jane Doe Book Club street team. Thanks for all the support.

Thanks to my children, extended family, and friends for being my personal cheering section. And last but not least, to my husband, John. For being my anchor. It’s everything.
