“Write your future.”
– Cary Tilds, badass mentor and friend

While it’s still in the works, the Spookaluca trilogy wouldn’t be possible without the support of an incredible community of artists, mentors, friends and family. Over coffee, meals, drinks and countless texts, these people offered listening ears, constructive criticism and life wisdom. I owe you my sincerest gratitude for your pre-launch contributions, endless encouragement, patience and friendship.

Note: This list is alphabetical order and not comprehensive: I guarantee I probably missed a few folks in my first pass, and for that, I apologize!
