A Dance with the Fae Prince by Elise Kova
Acknowledgments
The Man—thank you for every time you cleaned the house, took care of the lawn, dinner, laundry, or any other errand so I could focus on bringing my books into the world. Thank you for your insights and support in every arena of my life. I can confidently escape the real world knowing you’re holding down the fort.
My turtles—authoring would be so much harder without all of you. You are my support. My safe space. My masterminds. And my humor. You get me and I’m so lucky to have all of you. Thank you to each and every one of you for all you’ve done for me.
Teal—thank you for being such a good friend and for helping me with A DEAL WITH THE ELF KING. Yes, you should have been in the acknowledgments of that book, but this author friend of yours can be scatter-brained at times... Better late than never?
Mary—to the best fae I know, thanks for being such an uplifting friend. Also, thanks for making sure my body doesn’t break from writing all the words I have to write.
Danielle Jensen—I hope you know how amazing you are. Thank you for everything you do for me, both related to books and not.
Marcela Medeiros—you continue to be a dream to work with. I couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing the whimsy and magic of these worlds that I’m trying to make.
Merwild—my stories are richer for your art. Thank you for continuing to work with me on bringing my characters to life.
Amanda—I wish I could give you a big hug, but a line in the acknowledgments will have to suffice. THANK YOU for everything you’ve done to support me as both a friend and author.
The Book of Matches Media Team—you are all incredible and have been a delight to work with to help spread the word about my stories.
Rebecca Heyman—another manuscript down and onto the next one. Thank you, as always, for your continued help. I write with confidence knowing that you’ll be there to give me input.
Melissa Frain—thank you for cutting, splicing, chopping, and helping me put this manuscript back together. It is stronger for all your help and my motivation was always spurred on by your delightful comments.
My Dear Tower Guard — every one of you is brilliant, supportive, and a whole lot of fun. Thank you for all your insights and just being willing to be kind and have a good time in our little corner of the bookish world. Let’s keep looking after our own.
Every Instagrammer, Facebook Expert, BookTok’er, Blogger, and other influencer who helped spread the word on any platform — you are my heroes. I am so lucky that you’re willing to work with me and will be forever grateful. I hope that there are many more books in the future for us.
