My special thanks go to my editor and friend, Katherine Tegen, from whom I continue to learn so much about writing and who has, wonderfully, an identical sense of humor. And lots of thanks, too, to editor Katie Bignell, who makes everything happen just as it should.
Equally special thanks go to my agent and friend, Eunice McMullen, for her unfailing support and from whom I have learned to see the best in everything.
Many, many thanks to the copy editors who have so patiently and expertly gone through my words and offered such subtle and effective suggestions on how to make them better. Big thanks to Bethany Reis, Brenna Franzitta, and Maya Packard for their skillful editing and for all their patience.
But it is not all about words—it’s about images, too. I’d like to say a huge thank-you to Amy Ryan and all those in the art department at HarperCollins for putting together such beautiful covers and interiors, and to Joel Tippie for his wonderfully creative and totally perfect typography.
And of course there is one person without whom these books would not be the same: Mark Zug. Thank you so, so much, Mark, for making the whole world come to life. Your drawings are so beautiful, they add another layer of mystery and Magyk and always, without exception, capture the very essence of the characters. It is always a special day when I get to see your artwork for the very first time and watch the books coming to life. The covers are standout stunning and have become the quintessence of both Septimus Heap and now TodHunter Moon. Utterly inspired!
Making these books has been an amazing journey, and I know how lucky I have been to have such a wealth of so many talented, interesting and fun fellow travelers. Thank you all.
