In the End (Starbounders) (25 page)

Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank so many people for making
In the End
possible. Karen Chaplin is the best editor anyone could hope for. Thank you, Karen, for always making me dig deeper and for your much needed guidance and encouragement.

I’d also like to thank everyone at Harper Teen who made
In the End
possible, including my amazing editorial director, Rosemary Brosnan, and my fantastic production editor, Jon Howard. In addition, I’d like to thank my marketing director, Kimberly VandeWater, and my publicist, Olivia deLeon, and everyone else at Harper Teen whose tireless efforts have made
In the End
what it is today. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing team, I couldn’t have written this book without them. And thank you to David Downing and Katie Crouch for additional editorial advice.

Thank you to everyone who picked up
In the After
and took a chance on a debut author, and who wanted to follow Amy as she concluded her journey in
In the End
. I am so grateful to all of my readers.

Thank you to my husband, whose time serving in Iraq gave him a base of knowledge to answer all of my weapons/combat questions. I couldn’t have written this book without his unwavering support and his uncanny knack for bringing me coffee exactly when I needed it the most.

And last but not least, thank you to my super agent, Katherine Boyle. She is, simply, made of awesome.
