My team is bigger now, but I have been blessed to have found others who similarly strive to help me tell the best story I can tell, in the unique way they believe I can tell it. What an incredible gift. Thank you, Marion Archer and Karen Lawson.

Huge thanks to my beta readers, who not only provided feedback but did rereads of Archer to make sure I wasn’t forgetting any small details as I moved ahead in years. JoAnna Koller and Ashley Brinkman, I am so appreciative for your time and your support.

And to Elena Eckmeyer, for not only beta reading and providing suggestions but for laughing with me, loving my antihero first, and understanding the wild, curly-hair struggle like no other.

To Sharon, for your final glance and during a time when you would have had every right to step away from this job. I don’t deserve you, but I’m never giving you back.

To Bloom for taking so many of my characters under your wing and helping me share them with a wider audience. Your enthusiasm for my stories brings such joy to my heart, and I’m honored to be part of the Bloom family.

Thank you to Kimberly Brower for being all around amazing, always.

Everlasting gratitude to Mia’s Mafia—who stepped into Pelion, Maine, first and have journeyed with me to each successive location (some stranger than others).

To my husband, who fills my soul, and my coffee cup when I’m on a deadline. I couldn’t do any of it without you.
