Acknowledgments

Thank you to my family and the baristas at my local Starbucks, both of whom politely ignored me randomly snorting laughter and ugly crying (sometimes both) while crafting Richie Ryder Raymond. Much love to super-agent Nicole Resciniti for falling in love with Richie’s story and showing me how to make it even better. I’m so grateful! Just as much love to Julie Matysik, editor extraordinaire, for strengthening and polishing the Blind Guide series. Much gratitude to Kathryn Svendsen (Shelf Full of Books reviewer) for her insight on working with students who have limited vision.

Also, thanks to my parents’ yard horse. Sorry we never dressed you up.
