Writing is a solitary game, but we depend so much on those who supply the encouragement in between our solitudes. I couldn’t do what I do without that encouragement.
Early readers and encouragers included Anastasia Mayette Draper, Kel the Best Purveyor of Gay Books Ever, Wayne Rambo, and Alice Swanberg. Influences and abettors included the Griffon Bookstore, Ken Peczkowski, and the cheerful baristas of West Seattle.
Special thanks to the Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers’ Patreon and Discord community, a major source of support both mental and financial, and to all my amazing students, mentees, and fans. You are all well-loved and appreciated. I hope you enjoy some of what I produce.
And last but never least, many thanks to my agent, the ever-awesome Seth Fishman, as well as editor Chris Morgan, editorial assistant Mal Frazier, publicist Desirae Friesen, and all the other wonderful support staff at Tor.
