The Theft of Sunlight by Intisar Khanani (story reading .TXT) 📕

and sister-in-law, for their kindness, support, and provision of hot meals when I don’t manage to make them myself. You are the best.

In mentioning support crews, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the amazing supporters of Thorn, The Sunbolt Chronicles, and now The Theft of Sunlight. Readers, reviewers, bloggers, bookstagrammers, and more—thank you all. I am so grateful to you for helping to share my stories with your circles, and giving them wings to fly. You rock.

As those who follow me may know, I am extremely challenged by naming characters, and often resort to asking for help on my Facebook author page. Many thanks to Anela Deen for naming Seri, and Marisa Stroud for Siyela, as well as all the brainstorming that helped me to get to Ramella’s name. I’m frankly rather shocked I didn’t need more help, but that’s possibly because most of my characters were taken care of in Thorn. Phew.

And finally, I am grateful to God, for all that He has given me, in my writing and in my life.
