ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

M
any thanks to my husband, Mike, for his patience, support, and never-ending well of good ideas and helpful feedback, and to my girls, Lauren and Willow, for being the inspiration behind Eden and a hundred other stories I can only hope to find time to write.

I owe Jason Goode, Sarah Cook, and Janelle deJager a world of thanks for being good enough friends to read an early draft of this book and give me their honest and very helpful feedback. Thanks to them, you’ve read a much better book. And thanks to my cousin Sarah for exploring Inis Mór (and Dublin…and everywhere in between) with me, even though we didn’t find any real selkies, and to Charis and Mark Henderson for hosting us. Once again, I’m so grateful to Chris Hansen for sharing his expertise on storytelling with me and pushing me through the door into this wonderful new world.

As always, thanks to my stellar editor, Angela Polidoro, and the great team at 47North, who are always such a pleasure to work with: David Pomerico, Britt Rogers, Justin Golenbock, and all the others behind the scenes who are working to bring authors and readers together.
