    "No." Weavyr shook her head. "She has the gift. It is the only explanation."

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
    I am grateful to many people who helped bring this story to life. I thank my family for the love and support that allows me to write and encourages me to think I can. My wonderful critique partners, Angie Frazier, Amy Henry and Dawn Metcalf, all gave me invaluable feedback and helped an early draft take flight. My lovely editor, Michelle Poploff, and her assistant, Rebecca Short, asked all the right questions, even if they were sometimes hard to answer! I especially owe a loving debt to my writing friend Marissa McCarthy Goodell, who read Warped from the very beginning and always wanted to know "What happens next?"

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Before beginning her writing career, Maurissa Guibord worked slinging pizzas, alphabetizing things, and practicing medicine. Now she writes fiction for young adults who love the same kind of story she does: mysterious, romantic, and with a touch of humor. She lives on the coast of Maine with her mysterious cat, her romantic husband, and three kids who make her laugh. Warped is her first published novel.
