I am so lucky to have a great team who supports Maya at Clarion. Thank you, Emily Mannon, for heading up marketing and Abby Dommert for publicity. Your work is so key to making sure that people know about the book and getting it into young readers’ hands. To Catherine San Juan and the design team who came up with the amazing cover concept for Maya. To Elizabeth Agyemang, Erika West, Gretchen Stelter, Emily Andrukaitis, and the whole school and library marketing team at HarperCollins.

Many thanks to the cover artist, Godwin Akpan. Maya and Eleni look fierce. You absolutely nailed it.

To Ronni Davis, you will always amaze me with your energy, kindness, friendship, and humor. Thanks for being with me every step of the way. You are a bright light in my life.

To my ride or die, Alexis Henderson. You read the very first draft of the proposal for Maya. Your early encouragement meant so much to me. Thank you for your unrivaled support.

To my Chicago writing family: Ronni (hi again!), Samira, Gloria, Lizzie, Ebony, Zetta, Cathy, Nancy, Irene, Nevien, Anna, Reese, Mia, Lane, and Rosaria. I am in awe of your talent and thankful for your friendship. To the Speculators, who adopted me into their family: David S., Antra, Nikki, Axie, David M., Liz, Erin, Alex, Helen, and Amanda. Thank you for striking up a conversation with a shy writer at her first writing conference all those years ago.

My biggest thanks to the booksellers and librarians for championing the Maya and the Rising Dark series. And to the readers (especially the kids) who sent me nice messages. Finally, I owe so much to Mrs. Okeke, whose passion for literature and Shakespeare inspired me endlessly.
