As I am not often on social media, I am grateful to the readers and my team who sent me links that I might not have otherwise come across. My heartfelt thanks to the readers, bookstagrammers, book bloggers, booktubers, and to the BookTok community and its amazing creators. While I was unable to respond to everyone—and am hesitant to intrude where I was not tagged—you have all filled my heart with your words, your beautiful pictures, reels, and videos. Thank you, Melissa & Isabel, Steph, Lauren, Cait, Elle, Luchia, Katie, Cath, Sam, Danica, Giota, Tatiana, Shanayah, Ishtar, Gemma, Lina, Caitlin, Jenn, Jean, Tammie, Pamela, E-Lynn, Kevin, Bella, Amelia, Sonia, and Jenna—I am likely missing many others as I am writing this on deadline and due to the submission timing! Thank you to all the book tour hosts for Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and to the amazing contributors. I am so grateful to the booksellers and librarians for the incredible work they do in supporting authors, to Kalie, Kel, Jennifer, Steph, Michelle, Dayla, Gabbie, Dan, Mike, Rayna, Meghan.

A few years ago, when I was writing Daughter of the Moon Goddess on my dining table, during the rare moments when I allowed myself to dream—even then, I never imagined the journey the book would take me on. I say I am grateful a lot, but I feel it with every part of me—for the people around me, for the opportunity to write, for all the readers without whom none of this would be possible, and to you for reading this far.
