ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, it took a team to help me get this book whipped into shape, and I want to thank those people for all their hard work. My editor, Cindy Hwang, gave
Master of Smoke
her usual care and attention to all the things that make a romance work. My critique partners Diane Whiteside, Kate Douglas, Shelby Morgen, Camille Anthony, and Stephanie Burke were an invaluable help and source of ideas. I also want to thank beta readers Virginia Ettel, Linda Kusiolek, Wingednike, Marteeka Karland, and Ani Stubbs for making sure the book doesn’t suck.
