To everyone that helped me become a better writer, thank you. That includes everyone who has ever given me feedback or critiqued my stuff. (Not to mention all the subtle personality quirks I stole from people.) Over decades, that list is pretty long. Here are the highlights: Thanks to my wonderful editors, Mindy T. Conde and Natalie McDermott. You are the awesome-est. Yep, I just made that a thing. You"re welcome. Giant thanks to Artist Lucero Valdovinos. Bringing my concepts to life with your beautiful art made this a much better book. Bows and kudos to Fiona Jayde for another stunning cover. A special thanks to my three writer"s groups (in no particular order): Huge thanks to: Anthony Pico, Ben Jones, Chelsea McKinney, Danielle O"Brien, Hillary Frye, Irene Getchel, Janet Wallace
