We Won't Feel a Thing (30 page)

Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank:

• Jarrett and Rosie, the two brightest stars on my ceiling. I would never get a single thing done without your patience, love, and understanding.
  
• Mindy Dunn, for designing the perfect cover for this odd little book.
  
• A+ editor Christian Frey, for thoughtful feedback and the song title “Pickled Heart (Jar on a Shelf).”
  
• Cherished beta readers Susan Lee, Jennifer Taylor, Sam Schooler, and Andrea Sabaliauskas, for cheers, invaluable insights, and fresh perspectives.
  
• Julia Alaric, for urgently needed Latin expertise that Google Translate couldn’t provide.
  
• Style maven Mika Sam, for last-minute hyphen advice and more.
  
• Wendy Bond, for reading an early version of this story and believing in it.
  
• Mom and Dad, for being the opposite of Mr. and Mrs. Woodlawn.
  
• Every single person who helped get the word out about this book. You’re an author’s dream. I love you, and I owe you a big bowl of Molten Comfort Mac & Cheese next time you’re in my neighborhood.
