First thanks always goes to Char Peery, my former roommate who wanted to become friends with an author so that she could read books before they came out. I did warn her not to choose me, but she didn’t listen and I’m eternally grateful. She makes every book I write better.
My mother, Mary Mah, is the other non-author beta-reader who helped me get this book ready for publication. She also sometimes watches my kids when I’m on a deadline crunch. (I think beta-reading for me requires more patience and charity.)
I also need to thank the Book Design Crew, the three formatters who work with me at E.M. Tippetts Book Designs: Stacey Tippetts, Tara Jones, and Tianne Samson. Our business isn’t even a year old yet, and they’ve already formatted an incredible portfolio of bestselling books. Stacey in particular helped proof this ebook and sent me a long list of mistakes I’d made, and I’m
very
grateful for that.
Author Caisey Quinn has a super-busy schedule as her writing career continues to hit new heights. Still, she took the time to read this book and helped me restructure the third act. I’m very much indebted to her for that, and am more than happy to pay it back by beta-reading for her. (I know, not particularly selfless when the author is Caisey Quinn.)
And Stephanie Burgis is an author I’ve been a fan of for a long time. I met her at the Clarion West Writer’s Workshop for Science Fiction and Fantasy, and I have to say, it was just disgusting to watch her churn out beautifully crafted short stories on a short deadline with no sleep for six weeks. Yet for some reason she likes me enough to read my books. For this one she gave me a spectacular, detailed critique right before I did my final draft.
The information on television show production all came from Melinda Snodgrass, who has written for many hit shows and was patient enough to answer my very ignorant, and no doubt ridiculous questions. I’m sure I still got a ton of things wrong, but everything I got right is thanks to her.
Editor Mickey Reed dealt with a shifting schedule on this book, so she deserves extra kudos. Every edit she makes, I make myself enter by hand in the hopes that I don’t make the mistake again. Honestly, though, I’ve probably made at least five in just this paragraph dedicated to her.
Additional typos were caught by Neile Graham, another fantastic writer not enough people are reading.
Publicity for the launch of this book was handled by WordSmith Publicity, who have been a joy to work with. It’s made this process so much easier.
Last but never least, I have to thank my husband Trevor for putting up with a spouse who stares at a computer screen all day and most of the night. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to raise our kids and keep a home. I should thank my two kiddos, too. They fill our home with light and laughter and silliness, and provide a very good excuse to watch
How to Train Your Dragon
four times a week. Though I think they’re getting sick of it by now…
And if you’ve read this far and aren’t listed here (and didn’t expect to be), then I’m very grateful for you. Thanks for reading my work!
