For my editors, Tanya Besmehn and Chantelle Osman, thank you for bearing with all of the back-and-forth communications necessary to make Sirens of Memory the best it could be. There were delays as I processed, reacted to, and finally worked on implementing your edits and plot-point suggestions. Together we took Sirens of Memory from an idea in my mind to the reality of a book in my hands.
My endearing gratitude and thanks:
To John Besmehn for designing the original cover and being patient with me as we tweaked it.
To Scott Montgomery for believing in me and this story enough to champion it, and for making the introduction that led to this book deal.
To the team at Agora and Polis for all of your support.
Finally, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my family and friends, both immediate and extended. To my husband, Brendan Snow, thank you for your continual support and for being one of my greatest champions. To my parents, Pradip and Jayashree Guha, I couldn’t do without all of your love and support, and Dad, my writing would be very different without your beta-reads and apt critiques. My list here could go on and on, so instead, I’ll say thank you to the universe for bringing so many wonderful people into my life—all of them have shaped me as a writer and as a person. For that, I am grateful.
Dear Reader,
I’m so excited that you read my book. Thank you so much, the fact that I have readers who enjoy my work is still quite surreal.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Sirens of Memory. Would you consider posting a review on Amazon? Reviews and word of mouth are invaluable to an author on a quest to succeed, and I would be so grateful for a few minutes of your time in posting. Even a line or two would be a tremendous help.
I’d also love to stay in touch—you can stay up to date on all my projects, book signings and news by signing up for my mailing list at http://smarturl.it/PujaList.

With all my best,
