Bloodwitch

Начало книги

Fifteen years ago, Tom met a nervous adolescent girl with a book and a dream. Without him, that book would probably have been tucked away in a drawer, unread, unknown, and that dream would have withered away, unlived. You, my reader, would never have turned the pages that took you into Nyeusigrube.

Thank you, Tom. We wouldn’t be here without you.

A book starts with an author and an idea, but it doesn’t end there. I owe many people for helping me bring Bloodwitch from its NaNoWriMo birth to where it is now.

Thank you to Jodi, my editor from the Kiesha’ra series, who came back to work with me on this new project. Her keen eyes and insightful questions always drive me to the edge of despair and panic but also always bring out the best in any book.

More thanks go to Mandi, Bri, Mason, Rayne, Becky, and Ria for multiple read-throughs and invaluable critiques. Some of you put up with only receiving endless variations on the first ten thousand words, for which I am deeply grateful. If it weren’t for your comments, I never would have been able to make this world as crisp and defined as it is. Ria, thank you for helping me develop my mad artists, and Mason … I owe you. Really. I’m so sorry.
