  61. About the Author

Every fortunate author has mentors, and I must mention mine, who have guided me in various ways ever since I started my author journey. Kate Elliott, thank you for cheering me on. You’ve loved The Wild Ones since its first inception. Thank you for encouraging me to keep on trying. Thank you to Rachel Hartman. Your kindness means the world to me. Thank you to E. K. Johnston, who reached out to me and who included me in the writing community. Thank you to Elsie Chapman for your friendship and your wisdom. Thank you also to my Api, Ausma Zehanat Khan, whose grace keeps me going.

Thank you to all those librarians and teachers who champion POC writers. Thank you also, and most fervently, to all of you who read The Candle and the Flame and reached out to tell me why you loved it. I am not able to thank each one of you personally, but please know that every single person’s words were felt and appreciated. You made me believe in myself, and I can’t tell you how much I needed that reassurance.

Finally, thank you to all of the girls out there who are fighting the fight, and being wild every single day. Please remember, you are seen and you are loved. Thank you for being who you are.
