ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks again to everyone
who cheered me on during the writing, rewriting, and
publishing of this book. I'm especially grateful to all the readers who told me
they couldn’t wait for the sequel to
Seabound
.
It meant a lot to me.

I'd like to thank my writing friends for keeping me
company in various coffee shops around Hong Kong, especially Willow and Laura
for the highly productive Friday sessions.

I’m grateful to my two sharp-eyed critique groups for
their help in making this a much better book and for teaching me so much about
the craft.

To everyone who read the book before publication,
thank you for the feedback that was both encouraging and helpful. Thanks
especially to Galina Mesko, Allison Ng, Brooke Richter, Sarah Merrill Mowat,
Rachel Andrews, Laura Cook, Betsy Cheung, Rachel Marsh, Willow Hewitt,
Sebastian Brown, and Ayden and Julie Young.

Thank you to James at GoOnWrite.com for the beautiful
and atmospheric cover and Marcus Trower for the spot-on edits.

And thank you, family, for giving me feedback, cheering
me on, and bragging about me to your friends.
