Numbers Ignite (38 page)

And finally, dear reader, thank you. You don’t know how much I appreciate you picking up this book. I could send a million books into the void of cyberspace, but if nobody read them, they’d never come to life. You really are the best.

Happy Reading,

Rebecca

There’s only one name on the cover, but I wish I could throw a dozen others on there, because this book wouldn’t exist without them. Thanks to Clarissa Yeo of Yocla Designs for her amazing cover design. She is incredibly talented and worth waiting months for. Thanks to Lindzee Armstrong for her beautiful formatting and endless patience (and the ability to whip this project up in a day!) and to the ever-talented Corey Egbert for his chapter images. I appreciate the help of my editors Michele Preisendorf with Eschler Editing and also Bryon Quertermous. This book would be very different without their golden touch.

A thousand thanks to my fabulous critique group members and writer friends, including Ruth Craddock, Karen Pellett, Roxy Haynie, Jen Greyson, Angela Brimhall, Darren Hansen, LaChelle Hansen, David Powers King, and Lindzee Armstrong for their very timely and helpful (and sometimes painful, but in a good way) advice. Special thanks to Adrienne Monson, who broke some kind of world record in the last-pass beta read. Thanks, Adrienne!

Also, I have to recognize my sister and live-in nanny, Kalimba Myler, without whom this book would have come out in 2057. (I’m exaggerating, but not by much.)

And worlds of appreciation to my husband, that guy I keep gushing about. There aren’t many dads in the world who would spend their vacation time watching kids so their crazed wives can spend fifteen-hour days in the editing cave. He’ll probably never read this, but that’s fine—I want the entire world to know how amazing he is anyway.

To my readers—thank you. Your emails and notes and your incredible, amazing, wonderful reviews kept me writing and I love you for it.
