I’d like to give a rousing thanks to my editor, Emily Krump. She always knows how to make my stories better than I can make them on my own. Don’t know what I’d do without her.
Thanks also to my agent, Laura Bradford, who is wise and supportive beyond reason, even when I’m in a bad mood because of life situations I can’t control.
When I need an answer fast, Wikipedia is my site of choice, so thanks to them for being such a great resource.
And I could spend hours (and have) on the Hubblesite.org, just looking at the fantastic images. They are truly amazing.
