Spellmaker

Many thanks to my editor Adrienne, who adopted me and took this series under her wing. And to Angela, who has edited with great finesse and farseeing almost every single book I’ve published. Thank you to Marlene, my agent, for digging up opportunities and defending me on the battlefield. It took fourteen books, but I finally got you on that dedication page!

And again, thank you to my Father in Heaven, who guides me in fiction as well as in real life. I recognize I am very blessed to be able to do what I do and have others read what I write, and that blessing comes straight from Him.
