Steel Victory

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSBooks should never be written in a vacuum. I could not have accomplished this without the support of many. To my incredible writing community: Jennifer Brooks, Christe Callabro, Ron Edison, Judi Fleming, Vanessa Giunta, Kathleen Kollman, Chun Lee, Rhonda Mason, Jason Jack Miller, Erica Satifka, Deanna Sjolander, Shara White, K. Ceres Wright, Stephanie Wytovich, and everyone else from the Seton Hill University Writing Popular Fiction program (past, present, and future). Thank you for your support. To everyone who read all or bits of this novel in its many incarnations: Sabrina Benulis, Matt Betts, Faryn Black, Greg Fisher, Glenn Garrabrant, Tristan Horrom, Adrienne Kapp, Michael Mehalek, Heidi Ruby Miller, Maryn Rosenberg, and Chris Stout. Thank you for pushing me to be a better writer. To Jennifer Barnes and John Edward Lawson. Thank you for believing in Limani. And to Jeffrey Coleman, Timons Esaias, Diane Turnshek, and Stacie Yuhasz. Thank you for being my mentors in literature, writing, and life.
