ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Bewitched is the first time in four years that I’ve been able to share a new fictional world with you all, and I can’t tell you how exciting it is to get to introduce you to this one! Though, to be fair, Bewitched takes place in the same universe as my Bargainer and Unearthly series, so it’s more like returning to an old and beloved place, and discovering something new about it. I’ve been steadily working away on this series for years, and the magic of this world and Selene’s unfailing optimism and humor have been such a joy to write.

That being said, it took so much to get this idea out of my head and into your hands. A huge, huge shout out goes to two ladies in particular who really helped make that happen. My agent, Kimberly Brower, and my editor, Christa Désir, were the first two people to read my manuscript, and their support and guidance has made this such an incredible experience for me. I’ve been a lone wolf in publishing for so long, and both of these ladies have really shown me what it means to not go it all alone. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done.

I want to also thank who has helped me clean up and polish Bewitched. Your feedback helped so much and I lived for the little asides you sprinkled throughout the manuscript.

To Pam, Katie, Madison, and the rest of the Bloom team, thank you all so much for all the love and enthusiasm you’ve put into this book. I’m honestly blown away that I get to work with all you amazing people.

K.D. Ritchie, thank you for the beautiful cover and all the associated art and graphics you’ve made for this book! I still remember seeing this cover, which had originally been made for one of the series’ novellas, and being adamant that this had to go on the cover of Bewitched. I’m still mesmerized by it.

Dan, thank you for being my real life love story and being proof that soulmates really do exist. Without, you know, all of the angst and conflict of the fictional ones I write. Astrid and Jude, thank you for the love and cuddles and reminding me every day to notice the magic that exists around us. I hope you never lose your wondrous perspective of the world.

To my readers, thank you for taking a chance on Bewitched. I’m always so humbled by the outpouring of love and excitement you all give my books, and this one is no different. Thank you for letting me share my words and worlds with you.
