To Alex Rosa and Melissa Lucas for being there during the early days of drafting. Amanda de Leon for encouraging me to always explore the dark side. To Jackie Garlick and Stormy Smith for reading all the different versions. Emma Leech, Lindsey Clarke, Hellvis, and ALL of my beta readers! To Heather Graham, and Viktor and Lynda Salazar.
And last but certainly not least, to the amazing team at Skyscape, whose list of names has grown tremendously since TCG: my editor, Courtney Miller, who ensures the books meet their greatest potential. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And to Adrienne Procaccini! Many heart-eyed emojis to Kimberly Cowser! And to Britt Rogers! Marianne Baer. Miriam Juskowicz and Robin Benjamin. To Matt Patin, Karen Parkin, and Nicole Burns-Ascue of Girl Friday Productions. To Katie Kurtzman. A massive thank-you to Galen Dara for another cover that drips beauty.
Special love for all the people in Louisiana who have been flooded out of house and home last year. We are #LouisianaStrong. You inspire me every single day.
And I would be remiss to not thank Julie, Otis, and everyone at Bottom of the Cup for filling my childhood with memories I continue to ponder to this day. Thank you to all of the ghosts of the French Quarter.
Merci beaucoup.
