The Foretelling (Charlotte Bloom #1) (28 page)

ACKWNOLEDGEMENTS

Thank you Peter and Talianna, for being the first two sets of eyes on this thing. Thank you Kaelyn for your ruthless copyediting. I'm working on my overuse of commas and semicolons.

Thank you Mom, Dad, and Becky for being the best family a girl could ask for, and for encouraging me to pursue this writing thing.

Thank you, friends: you know who you are. I’m sorry I was so boring during the months of November and December of 2014. Now you know why.

Thank you to the parents of children whom I babysit from time to time. Parts of this book were born while your children were asleep.

Thank you to Elizabeth Gilbert and Victor Hugo, two
very different
authors, for continually inspiring me and giving me a reason to keep writing.

And finally, my cats. I love them even when they’re being assholes.
