Rare Vigilance by M.A. Grant

Acknowledgments

Matt—Thank you for reminding me that high school me was valid to write about vampires. And thank you for talking me down from the ledge over and over again. Here’s to our new writing adventure!

Deidre—My continued thanks for the ideas, support, and encouragement you always give me when I suggest pursuing some bizarre new project. So grateful to be working with you!

Ronan—I hit the jackpot working on this series with you for one last hurrah. I’m still learning so much and your guidance is a blessing. Thank you!

The amazing staff at Carina—Thank you for answering questions, making my story into a real book, and helping me continue to make my childhood dreams of being an author a reality.

Kari, Kris, Emily—The chats, Zoom calls, and celebrations have made the intense writing of this book far less lonely. Can’t wait to see what you all think of it!

All the incredible m/m authors I’ve met and been privileged to celebrate with since the release of my last series—I am constantly amazed and humbled by the kindness and support of this writing community. It is a joy to log in to my social media feeds every day because I get to see all the incredible work you are all doing. Thank you for letting me be part of it.

Squad—Distance doesn’t matter. You do.

My sisters—Your humor and encouragement when I had breakdowns about whether this was possible are true gifts. Here’s to continued Schitt’s Creek and Hamilton GIFs, and forgiveness for dirty houses during FaceTime calls.

The readers who’ve been following me, or who are about to discover my writing—All I’ve wanted to be was a writer. You have helped make that possible. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking these journeys with me and celebrating the characters and stories. I can’t wait to hear from you as we start in on this new trilogy together!
