ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First, I want to extend my gratitude to City Owl Press for taking a chance on my manuscript, and a special thank you to my editor Danielle DeVor for refining and strengthening SUPERSTITION.

Second, a shout out to Vince, Ev, C.J., and the rest of the now disbanded Phoenixville Fiction Writers Group. They suffered through every chapter of my first draft and provided invaluable feedback.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge R.C. Goetter and Bob Joslin, my high school English Teachers. At Mullica Hill Friends School, they were known as Teacher R.C. and Teacher Bob. Decades later, their guidance and encouragement still prove to be instrumental in my development as a writer.
