It seems like my crew gets bigger with every go round, so I hope I don&#8217;t forget to mention anyone here.<\/p>\n<p>Although their job came last, I first want to thank my amazing readers. Your reviews and shares helped the book soar&#8230;and also eased my fear that no one would be interested in reading a novel that didn&#8217;t include a single werewolf. Kind words like these made me smile from ear to ear&#8230;and pound away at the keyboard even faster on the sequel:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Electric story telling&#8221; &#8212; JOJO<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wild post apocalyptic world building&#8221; &#8212; Tera Comer<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was one of those rare stories that sweep you away into another world, and you leave it looking forward to your next visit.&#8221; &#8212; BookAddict<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I lost sleep to read it fully, then when I did sleep I woke early to get back to the story. Do not attempt to read if you have work to do first.&#8221; &#8212; Cynthia Stevens<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Totally rocked&#8221; &#8212; Patti Hays<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the production end, this time around I added in <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ndZrnh\">an amazing developmental editor<\/a> who saved the day on several fronts and <a href=\"http:\/\/larksandkatydids.com\/formatting\/\">an awesome paperback designer<\/a> who created a physical book so lovely I could sit and look at it all day. Of course, I continue to sing the praises of my startlingly beautiful cover created by <a href=\"http:\/\/bookcovers.rebeccafrank.design\/\">Rebecca Frank<\/a> along with Chereese&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/grammar-rulesatoz.blogspot.com\/\">painstaking copy edit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a slew of authors supported my launch by emailing their lists, sharing my facebook post, or otherwise helping ensure Verdant Magic saw the light of day.\u00a0And, finally, I owe my VA Kayla endless gratitude for her hard work behind the scenes&#8230;which extended so far as to help with a photo shoot\u00a0to pep up my bio.<\/p>\n<p>Want to see the book created by this village? <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2mJiEiP\">Verdant Magic is for sale on Amazon and is free to borrow with Kindle Unlimited<\/a>.
