I also would like to thank my agent, Ammi-Joan Paquette, and the crew at Erin Murphy Literary Agency for seeing through my BS and believing in me. Those unscheduled phone calls? You know you love them, Joan.
The professionalism and talent at Philomel blew me away again. Love to Jill Santopolo for the props when I needed them most and for the excellent advice and guidance. Thank you to Julia Johnson and Karen Taschek for making my work shine and to Linda McCarthy and Amy Wu for making the book beautiful.
When the “winged seraphs of heaven” and the “demons of the sea” needed an Otherworldly incarnation, Robert Cremins stepped in to help me discover their identities. Thank you for the time spent discussing things Celtic over lattes, Robert.
Love and gratitude to Kari Olson, YA guru and speed-reader extraordinaire, for her keen eye and excellent input—also for her nagging and harping at me to send the next chapter. Put the taser away, Kari. As you can see, I finished it.
I’m grateful for the expertise and time shared with me by Victoria Scott, Lindsay Marsh, Heather Dyer, and Patrick MacDonald. You guys are the best!
And of course, gratitude beyond words to my husband, Laine, and my kids, Hannah, Emily, and Robert, for putting up with my brooding and angst. Sunshine and bunnies in the n"-1">Andext one, I promise.
