The man who wrote the wonderful, inspiring, compelling classic that has inspired countless storytellers to write grand, and also deeply-moving holiday adventures, and that has inspired countless people to try and change for the better as they let Christmas Spirit into their hearts.

I also want to thank Julie Bromley, Ian Culbertson, The Fine Family, Bree Wernicke, // TECHYSCOUTS, the Girl Scouts organization, Girls on the Run, Claire Bretzke, and all the other wonderful people who have supported my writing so actively, and my many fans who I hope to continue to amaze, enthrall, and surprise in the future.
