Acknowledgments

Thank you to all of the backers and readers of the first volume last year and this year. This is all for you, and I hope you enjoy the book.

Thank you to all the writers who allowed me to reprint their amazing work for this anthology. Thank you to Galen Dara for creating the incredible original art for the cover of the book—a good cover is a powerful thing to draw the reader’s eye. Thank you to Polgarus Studios for the interior layout and Pat R. Steiner for the cover layout.

Thank you to Skyboat Media for putting together another excellent audiobook.

My friends in the Dire Turtle writing group, thank you as ever for your support and enthusiasm. (And thanks for letting me stay in the group even though I’ve barely found the time to write!)

Thank you for those who offered rewards for the Kickstarter: Erica L. Satifka, Martin L. Shoemaker, Sunil Patel, and Naomi Kritzer.

Many people helped spread the word, including Mike Glyer at File770, Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing, and the good folks at Escape Artists.

Thank you all, so much.
