  This book is dedicated to my sister Kate. A kindred spirit whose stubbornness and fierce independence I greatly admire. I’m proud of you, Kate.

  I would also like to thank the many people who have enabled and encouraged me. My beta readers who provided me with detailed advice, honest feedback, and unflinching criticism—which led to great improvements in the manuscript (trust me, the original draft had some problems). Especially Brandon and Ruth who’ve stalwartly made time in their busy schedules to read, and re-read, my work. Thanks also to Matt for his early reading of the manuscript and detailed review. Lastly I want to thank everyone who sent me e-mails, wrote reviews, and generally made efforts to support and encourage me. It is a pleasure to write stories for an audience like you.
