Amanda Pedulla from Chapters in Thunder Bay, for hawking my book to everyone who walks into the store. (You’re the best!) My coworkers in the NICU at the TBRHSC, for eagerly asking about my books, even when it embarrassed me to no end.
The entire Krys and Couture families, of which there are too many members to name individually, for always being so supportive and excited about my writing. Thanks especially to my sister, Crystal Couture, and my mom, Phylis Kaukanen, for the plot ideas and the dinners in sweatpants, which is really the only way to have dinner. Thanks also to Barb Hemsworth, for being the best beta reader a friend could ask for, and for always suggesting a girls’ recon trip for “book research.”
My long-suffering husband, Logan, for letting me disappear for hours on end while I wrote this book and for hashing out plot points when witches and sorcerers aren’t exactly his thing. My books wouldn’t be possible without his commitment to letting me follow my dreams. And Benjamin, for being the kind of boy moms dream of—all the success in the world wouldn’t be worth it without him. (I love you to the moooon!) Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to my readers. You’re the reason I do this. Much love.
