  68. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

An extra special thank-you to Daniel José Older. You were my first author friend, and I am so grateful for your listening ear and wisdom, humor and support. You’re a very good human.

To Amy Reed: thank you for reminding me of who I’ve always been.

There are so many authors in my life to thank for their support, advice, and love: Kwame Mbalia, Victoria Lee, Elise Bryant, Karen Strong, Justina Ireland, L. L. McKinney, Dhonielle Clayton, Bethany C. Morrow, Eden Royce, Lora Beth Johnson, Susan Dennard, E. K. Johnston, Margaret Owen, Zoraida Córdova, Natalie C. Parker, Tessa Gratton, Graci Kim, Liselle Sambury, Annalee Newitz, Kiersten White, Ashley Poston, Jessica Bibi Cooper, Monica Byrne, Emily Suvada, Nicki Pau Preto, Akemi Dawn Bowman, Antwan Eady, Claire Legrand, Saraciea Fennell, and Patrice Caldwell.

Special thank-yous to Mark Vrionides, Katy Munger, Jamye Abram, Negar Mottahedeh, Kat Milby, Michael G. Williams, Tina Vasquez, and the ladies of Color of Fandom.

Thank you to St. Anthony Hall and my siblings. I wouldn’t be the person, the writer, or the artist I am without the bonds. I very much hope you enjoy this LD.

To Annalise Ophelian and Alyssa Bradley: thank you for the spells and projects, the cauldron, and every other magic we make together.

To Arlette Varela for always being ready to brainstorm demon names, magical abilities, and blood curses. Your early feedback gave me the boost I needed.

To Kathy Hampton: thank you for your artistic eye, abundant spirit, and glowing support. You’ve seen me and Bree from the very beginning, and I so appreciate it.

To Adele Gregory-Yao: I am immeasurably grateful for your unwavering support, brilliant brainstorming, troubleshooting, talent, dark humor, and creative vision during this journey.

To Karin McAdams: you have supported my writing (and my reading) for over twenty-five years. You helped me survive two losses, and then bolstered me in writing about them. You are my sister in arms, and I think she’d be so very proud of the both of us.

Immense gratitude to all of my family members across all of my families, for being enthusiastic about my future and this book without having read a word. Thank you.

To Walter, thank you for keeping me fed and hydrated, for reminding me to rest, and for believing in me every day. You had faith when I didn’t. You whiteboard and sketch and talk through my world until the magic and plot make sense, my partner in storytelling as much as in life. None of this would be possible without you. I love you.
