The Stone Demon (32 page)

I would also like to thank Jenna Avery and her Writer’s Circle, who cheered me on through the many hours of production work on this book. You all rock! And I’m raising a glass to the “real” Demian, whose name I shamelessly borrowed for my demon king—it goes without saying that you aren’t evil. Right?

Finally, I couldn’t possibly wrap this up without sending big hugs to the Deadline Dames—for Good News Friday and everything else you’ve given me as a writer (and as a person); Maralyn Mahoney—the best mum (and first reader) anyone could ever have; and Vijay Rana—for putting up with the angst, and not minding (too much) when I only cook once in a blue moon.
