The Queer Principles of Kit Webb
Page 28
He knew he had found that in Kit and would every day try to show Kit that he had found the same in Percy. And he knew that they had also found other things—a chance to try to make the right choices, a small but sure haven of comfort, hope where they least expected it.
“Where did you go?” Kit asked, looking down at Percy with an expression so hopelessly fond, Percy had to force himself not to shut his eyes.
“I’m right here,” Percy said, and reached up for a kiss.

Acknowledgments
As always, I’m indebted to my editor, Elle Keck, and my critique partner, Margrethe Martin. My agent, Deidre Knight, has been endlessly supportive, not just of this project, but for the past five years. I’m so grateful for the enthusiasm of everyone at Avon who helped produce this book and get it out into the world.
This book was written in the midst of global and personal upheaval and it would never have gotten finished without my family making sure I had the space—both physical and mental—to write, and for that I’m enormously grateful. I wrote half of it in my daughter’s bedroom and the other half in my parents’ spare room, and they were all extremely good sports about letting me leave coffee cups and sticky notes all over their belongings. Both my sons were instrumental in coming up with inventive ways to do away with bad guys, and to them I apologize for not having the range to write about cannibal sheep.
About the Author
CAT SEBASTIAN lives in a swampy part of the South with her family and pets. Before her kids were born, she practiced law and taught high school and college writing. When she isn’t reading or writing, she’s doing crossword puzzles, bird watching, and wondering where she put her coffee cup.
