Acknowledgements
I’d like to thank Georgia McBride for believing in my writing, and for her enthusiastic support of new authors. Thank you to my fantastic beta readers: Rioghnach Robinson, Crystal Waters, Jennifer Rosenberry, and Samantha Moore. Most of all, I want to thank my husband, John, and our son, Dominic. Your love and unwavering support have given me the courage to pursue this crazy dream of mine.
Bio
Michelle was born in a small Midwestern town, to which she has returned to raise her own family. Her imagination and love of literature were fueled by a childhood of late nights, hidden under the covers and reading by flashlight. She is a passionate adoption advocate who lives in Wisconsin with her husband, son, and their yellow lab, Sully.

Acknowledgements
I want to thank Georgia for inviting me to be part of this project and also my critique partners, Krystalyn Drown and Marcy Hatch. As for the girls at my childhood sleepovers who scared me so much with the Bloody Mary legend that I still avoid mirrors in the dark—thanks a lot!
Bio
Dianne K. Salerni is a fifth grade teacher by day and a writer by night. She's the author of young adult historical novels, We Hear the Dead (Sourcebooks) and The Caged Graves (Clarion/HMH), and a forthcoming middle grade fantasy series, The Eighth Day (HarperCollins 2014). In her spare time, Dianne is prone to hanging around creepy cemeteries and climbing 2000 year-old pyramids in the name of book research.
Pab Sungenis
Bio
Born in the swamps of Southern New Jersey, Pab Sungenis developed a childhood fascination with cartooning and drew a daily strip for his own amusement for two years before realizing he couldn’t draw. He wound up in broadcasting, worked for numerous stations including WSBU, WOND, WMGM, WSKR, WBNJ, WWBZ, and WKTU. He describes his drawing ability as like that of “a mentally challenged rhinoceros on a Ny-Quil bender”, but thanks to the wonders of photo-manipulation and computer image editing, on February 8, 2006 he found himself creating The New Adventures of Queen Victoria, which has appeared ever since, first on Comicssherpa.com., and now in online syndication with gocomics.com.
