Each of these works has been published individually, and thus has already had an acknowledgments page. To everyone I already thanked—thank you again! This collection wouldn’t exist without your support.
I am forever grateful to my agent, Rebecca Strauss at DeFiore and Company. She plucked my query letter out of the slush pile and has made so many of my dreams come true. I haven’t stopped dreaming, either.
I will forever be flabbergasted by the Nebula nomination for Wings of Sorrow and Bone. I’m deeply honored that readers found it worthy. Thank you; I’d feed you all maple cookies if I could.
Lastly, for my husband Jason, my favorite big dork, who knows when to back away slowly when I’m working and does what he can to get vacation days so I can attend conventions. He knows he’ll get lots of cookies, too.
