Acknowledgements

This whole book series thing happened a lot faster than I ever thought it would, so it seems only fair that I thank the people who helped transform it from a scrivener project to a real book with pages and things.

 

First to Nic and Brittany who listened to me blabble about imaginary people before there was even a first draft, let alone a book, and provided me with all of the encouragement I could ever want.

To the wonderful team at Elsewhen Press who actually did all of the transformy things (and gave me bookmarks). My editor Peter, proofreader Sofia, and Alison who created my beautiful feathery covers.

To Christopher Nuttall who provided feedback and encouragement and readers. I will be eternally grateful for the samples he included in his books (if that isn’t how you got here then you should check him out).

To all of the lovely people I’ve met at conventions over the years (there are far too many of you to name). It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in the word mines and everyone has that one character with a mind of their own and that one scene that just won’t co-operate.

To my parents, without whom this entire crazy experiment would have been impossible.

And finally, to you for reading this book (and presumably the first two).

 

Thank you.
