Acknowledgments

A special thanks to Terri Bischoff, Nicole Nugent, and the rest of the Midnight Ink team, for without you, my whiskey research would feel much more like a drinking problem.

And a huge thank you to you, dear reader. With so many wonderful fictional worlds to pick from, you choosing mine is not taken lightly. If we meet in person, I owe you a whiskey. As long as you promise not to mix it with Diet Coke.
