A Book of Spirits and Thieves

Thank you to my mother, my father, my sister Cindy, and my BIL Mike. I couldn’t ask for a better support team and pep squad; plus you feed me regularly since you know I can’t cook. A million thank-yous.

Thank you to Bonnie Staring, Eve Silver, and Juliana Stone for being there for me as my friends and my kindred spirits in writing. You are three shining stars that I’m so very lucky to have in my life.

Thank you to my gift and fabulous editor Elizabeth Tingue; thank you so much for helping me take this book from a meandering first draft to a finished book I’m proud of. I thank the Muses every day that we are on the same page (pun fully intended!). Thank you to Jim McCarthy, my darling agent of a decade-plus now who is truly the best. You both rock!

My eternal thanks to Ben Schrank for allowing me to take a detour into another part of Mytica and for helping to point me in the right direction when I misplace my writer GPS. And to Laura Arnold for originally wanting me to write more books apart from the main series. I miss you! Thanks also to Casey McIntyre, Anna Jarzab, Jessica Shoffel, Erin Berger, Mia Garcia, and Colleen Lindsay, to name only a few fabulous Penguins who make All Things Possible. Also, to Tony Sahara, Irene Vandervoort, Anthony Elder, and Shane Rebenschied, who make beautiful cover art together. Penguin Young Readers and Razorbill are the bomb dot com. Truth.
