assive thanks
, first, to you. The people who purchase, read, and review these books make it possible for me to live in a fantasy world of my own creation, struggling with words and ideas every day, in order to take you all on dazzling adventures. Your support means so much to me.

T
o my alpha
and beta readers: KL Schwengel, Shannon Andrews, Katelyn Lowden, Scott Holley, Annette Flick, and Alana Terry… you make this possible through your encouragement and your gentle (and not-so-gentle) criticism. You are a part of this book’s lifeblood. Thank you. And to Krista Walsh, thanks for the hand-holding, the guidance, and the shoulder to cry on. You get it, man.

T
o my editor
, Joshua Essoe: Thanks for the honesty and the assistance, and for always forcing me to grow as a writer.

T
o AM Liebowitz
: Thank you for the copy-edits and for catching those last few typos. Well… we’ll hope they were the last.

T
o Ravven
: You’re some kind of magic-worker. Thank you for another incredible cover!

T
o Cal and Glenda Sparkes
: Thank you for letting me work in the Princess room (and at your table… and in the guest room…), and for your love and support. My mom told me to marry a guy whose parents I loved. Mission accomplished.

T
o my parents
: Thanks for introducing me to books, for encouraging me to do what makes me happy, and for deciding against tossing me out with the garbage when I was a cranky baby. You’re rockstars. I love you.

A
nd finally
, to my husband and my children… thanks for letting me get ‘er done. I know your lives would be easier if I didn’t have this crazy obsession, but I hope they’re better when I’m living my dream. I love you guys so much. You’re my favourite people.
