Castle Hangnail

by Ursula Vernon

  Thanks go also to my husband, Kevin, who is always patient and always reads the first draft to reassure me that it will not bring shame to my ancestors, to all my awesome blog readers who make encouraging noises whenever I have decided to quit writing and become a medical test subject, and to my cats, because they have not yet eaten me in my sleep.

  Finally, to the late, great Eva Ibbotson, who wrote children’s books that made me want to try writing them too, and who I still kinda want to be when I grow up.
