Acknowledgements
No book is written in a vacuum. It’s too noisy and there’s not enough room in the bag.
More importantly, no book makes it to publication without a lot of help. My thanks to Gwen Gades at Dragon Moon Press for asking how fast I could get it done; to my readers (Katrina, Kim, Kathryn and Sara) for their hard work and great advice; to my editor, Gabrielle Harbowy, for putting up with my typos and helping me craft a much better (and shorter!) book; to Dan Levinson and all the folks at Rapier Wit for the sword-fighting and the friendship; to my family and friends for putting up with a writer; to my little girl whose joy infects my writing and who reminds me daily what it means to be a parent and a child; to everyone who bought Small Magics and asked the same question as Gwen; to Erick Fournier for agreeing to be on the cover, and finally to everyone who has actually read these acknowledgements and now understands why the Academy of Motion Pictures makes the speeches so short.
