Acknowledgments

I like to think that an author puts a little bit of themselves into every character that they create. For instance, Meg and I share a very creative interpretation of time. My lovely editor, Erin, knows this only too well. This book is dedicated to her not just because, as always, she made it better than it was when I sent it to her, but because she waited forever and a day to get the chance to do that. Thank you, Erin. Promise not to keep you waiting so long next time!

Thanks also to my equally as patient family. Yes, I pretty much ignored you all over the months that it took to write this, but we all knew it was going to happen, and we know it will happen again and again. Such is our lot. But…it’s a lot we share, and that makes the whole thing awesome.

Lastly, thank you to every reader who has ever picked up one of my books. In the beginning I write them for me. But, by the end, they’re always for you. I hope you enjoy reading this one as much as I enjoyed writing it.
