Acknowledgements
This book involved so many moving pieces that I would not have fully understood without the assistance of those at The Self Publishing Agency. My sincere thanks to Megan Williams for her guidance and continued support throughout the publication process. Thanks also go to Laura Wrubleski for her work on the book interior and to Liana Moisescu for her beautiful cover design.
I owe a good deal of gratitude to the Galveston Historical Foundation, Moody Foundation, and Mitchell Historic Properties, all of which have contributed to the preservation of Galveston’s history and provided me with a plethora of resources for inspiration during the writing of this novel. I would not have been able to experience such history firsthand without their conservation of the island’s buildin
