Always for family, friends, and God.
For the new members of my family, because they make my heart even bigger.
For Eve Mercado, who I hope grows up to be an awesome reader.
For my brother-in-law Will, because he works hard, sacrifices much, and puts up with my sister.
For Paul Blackthorne, the person I envisioned when I wrote Coach Bly. Thanks for the inspiration!
And for the SCBWI, who encourage writers and illustrators to dream and do big things.
