KATLYN DUNCAN
grew up in a small town in New England, but her head was always in the clouds. She wanted to travel and see the world but was happy enough to write her own characters and live through them. Katlyn started writing at a young age and never really stopped. Even if she wasnât writing a novel or a movie script, she was jotting down ideas in her journal or on Post-it notes. She never thought (even though she dreamed) they would lead to her actually becoming published someday. One of her proudest moments was winning $50 for a writing contest in sixth grade. And Katlyn bought her very own television with it. In that same grade, one of her most influential teachers taught her that reading was an escape and she hopes she can bring that to her readers as well.
Katlyn currently lives in lower New England, a quick train ride to New York City, with her husband and adorable wheaten terrier in a Victorian fixer-upper.
Acknowledgments
To me, the hardest part of writing a book is the acknowledgments. There are so many people that assist and inspire a book throughout each step of the process that I fear I will forget them when the time comes to write this.
Itâs a good thing I kept a list this time around (took me only seven books to think of that).
Iâve never written a contemporary thriller before so the task was quite daunting. I want to thank K.R. Conway (The Undertow Series) for her enlightening theory of writing and how the âthreadsâ really came together after thinking of the book in a new way. Lisa Hall, for helping out with a certain role in the novel. K. Meyers for forever changing the way I write my drafts and for your daily encouragement in the process.
A big shout-out to the SCAG for being there daily for me during the happy and frustrating moments, and every emotion in between. I donât know how I would have gotten this far without you all!
I want to thank my fabulous critique group for being encouraging and helpful with every single one of my books and Iâm so grateful for each and every one of you.
A special thanks to family: Aunty for helping me out with authenticity. Mom for stepping into your new role of critique partner. Your feedback and love for this book has inspired me more than you will ever know. And to my darling husband, who still hasnât read any of my books yet actively listens to my crazy theories for my characters.
To all of those at HQ Digital who helped shape this book into something Iâm proud to show the world, thank you for your time and talent!
