Dedicated to my husband,
who is the inspiration for every hero I write.
The fire has never gone out, baby.
I love you.

Also to all my loop-dwelling friends,
both writers and readers,
you make the Internet worthwhile.
Thanks for the laughter, the information,
and sometimes the commiseration.
You guys rock.

To all the writers who are still trying, write on.
No matter what happens, write on.
