The Cursed King by Abigail Owen
Acknowledgments
Dear Reader,
No matter what is going on in my life, I get to do what I love surrounded by the people I love—a blessing that I thank God for every single day. Writing and publishing a book doesn’t happen without support and help from a host of incredible people.
To my fantastic, equally dragon-obsessed readers (especially my Awesome Nerds Facebook fan group!)…thank you so much for going on these journeys with me, for your kindness, your support, and generally being awesome.
Angelika and Airk’s story was in my head from the moment I started the series, and finally getting to see these two come together—and everything that means in the wider world of my dragon shifters—has been the best journey. I hope you fell in love with these characters and their story as much as I did. If you have a free sec, please think about leaving a review. Also, I love to connect with my readers, so I hope you’ll drop a line and say “Howdy” on any of my social media accounts!
To my editor, Heather Howland… Wow! What a journey. In the summer of 2017, we were just spit balling paranormal romance ideas. We started with a single dragon series—Inferno Rising. But we loved some other ideas as well, so we sprinkled some fairy dust on them and ended up with not one but two dragon series—Inferno Rising and Fire’s Edge. Now it’s 2021, four years later, and we’ve finished ten books, plus another four novellas in the Brimstone Inc. spinoff, eighteen awards, and, best of all, a deep friendship and partnership that I will always treasure.
To my Entangled family… Your support, your friendship, and your commitment to making incredible books have been career altering. You are awesome, amazing people who are a blast to be around and who turn out the best books. Keep doing what you do!
To my agent, Evan Marshall… For your guidance and faith in me. I can’t tell you what it means to have you in my corner.
To Nicki, who has read every book, edited most of them, and been the voice of “you can do it” in my head when I lose my own… You are the best bestie a girl could ask for. Love you! And now that you’re back in AU, miss you so much it hurts.
To Alyssa Day, Alexandra Ivy, Carrie Ann Ryan, Anna J. Stewart, and Kait Ballenger… Your cover quotes for these two series are appreciated more than you probably realize. I love the romance author community and the support we give one another. You’d better believe I intend to pay it forward. Thank you!
To my support team of beta readers, critique partners, writing buddies, reviewers, friends, and family—so, so many (have I mentioned how blessed I am) and every single one of you is appreciated for everything you are. As always, a thousand thanks and hugs!
To my author sisters/brothers and friends… You inspire me every day!
Finally, to my own partner in life and our beautiful kids… I don’t know how it’s possible, but I love you more every day. Damn, I am a lucky woman.
With love,
Abigail Owen
