Protecting His Witch (Entangled Covet) (Keeper Of The Veil series Book 1) (18 page)

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, a huge thank you to three amazing editors who helped bring this story to life: Candace Havens, Allison Collins, and Meredith Johnson. And to the entire Entangled team.

There are so many talented people behind the scenes who help to make a book happen.

Thank you to my husband, Luke, because you’re the best for always being willing to discuss action sequences. Thank you for keeping things together when I was running from my day job as a vet to my night job as a writer, and those days of endless rewrites.

To Cait Spivey for helping me whip a rough first draft into shape, thank you.

For once I can’t say thank you to Misty the dog since she decided to ingest not one, but two socks during the height of editing stress.

And, as always, thank you to the rest of my incredible family—my parents who are always in my corner. My sister for her endless enthusiasm to read a draft or offer advice. To Jerry for all the love and joy you bring to us. And my son who never hesitates to remind me that “Everything is awesome.”

About the Author

Zoe Forward
is a hopeless romantic who can’t decide between paranormal and urban fantasy romance. So she writes both. In addition to being a mom to one rambunctious kindergartener and wife to a conservation ecologist who plans to save all the big cats on the planet, she’s a small animal veterinarian caring for all the small furries, although there is the occasional hermit crab.

When she’s not typing at her laptop, she’s tying on a karate belt for her son or cleaning up the newest pet mess from the menagerie that occupies her house. She’s madly in love with her globe-trotting husband of ten years and happiest when he returns to their home base in North Carolina.
