A huge thank you to all those who made this book possible, who helped in its long journey from idea to finished story. To my husband, of course. To my dad and mom, my brother and sister-in-law, and Nona and Nono (who gave me my first book of Greek myths). To the Inkslingers: Tanya Lloyd Kyi, Stacey Matson, Rachelle Delaney, Lori Sherritt, Sara Gillingham, Kay Weisman, Maryn Quarless, and Christy Goerzen. To friends Lee Edward Fodi and Vikki Vansickle. To editors Dave and Lucy and their teams who make books happen. And to Abby who saw its potential. To my phenomenal agent, Emily Van Beek. To the one and only Tiffany Stone who helps me every word of the way. And to my Greek experts, Siobhan McElduff and Tom Donaghy especially!, who answered my endless questions with amazing, thoughtful feedback, resources and insights. Thank you so very, very much.
