Acknowledgments
Thank you to my wonderful beta readers, Megan Grey Walker and Hannah Ivory Wright. Your insightful feedback gave me the confidence to finish this story.
Thank you to David Farland for teaching me everything I know about description and for advice when I didn't know what direction to take an early draft of what would eventually become Muse.
Thank you to my awesome editor, Meghan Pinson. Without you, this book would be nothing like it is today. Thank you to Glendon Haddix for a beautiful cover. I'm beyond thrilled. Thank you to Nick Hawkins for proofreading.
Thanks also to everyone who has read this far. I started this manuscript at a time when I wasn't sure I wanted to continue writing and it led me here. I hope Diarmuid and Brigit's story fills your heart the way it does mine.
And, finally, thank you to my family for supporting me through this journey. To Neal for all of the many hours you've tiptoed around the house, being quiet while I wrote. To Muffin and Lulu who are always convinced I can't write if they aren't there right beside me, guarding me. To Frehley, who really couldn't care less as long as I stop writing to feed her on time. And to my angel Bella. I miss you every day.
About the Author
Kylie lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her pack of one husband, two dogs, and a cat. She spent most of her childhood wandering in fictional worlds but it was many years before she made the connection between her own made-up worlds and the written word. She will read almost anything but prefers a fantastical element, including magic, time travel and monsters.
Her other interests include canine nutrition, playing the piano, zombies and organic gardening. She blames the disheveled state of her house on her dogs but she really just hates to clean.
