    Acknowledgments
     
    This series has been a long time coming, and it never would have manifested if not for the help of the people around me. Most importantly my family. I wanted to thank my parents from the bottom of my heart. You always supported me, and believed I could do anything, even if it seemed far-fetched. My father especially. You handed me my first Science Fiction/Fantasy novel when I was eleven. Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. That book was what made me realize I wanted to be a writer. You took me to the bookstore and let me read whatever I wanted, feeding my addiction for books. My mother, you are always the cheerleader. You told me art could be a career, regardless of what anyone else thought. To my sister, for always wanting to read my work, even if I wasn’t ready for it to be seen. Thank you for being one of my proofreaders, an invaluable service you have no idea. You have no idea what it means that you truly like what I write. To my brother, one of my best friends, I got so lucky with you. Most siblings don’t get along, or aren’t that close. It means the entire world to me that I can hang out with my brother and sister, and be actual friends, not pretending to like each other.
    My grandparents, you are awesome. Ada, somehow you managed to be the coolest grandma ever for enjoying my young adult science fiction :) I love you guys for being so supportive, and allowing me to be who I am. Grandpa, you don’t really get the ‘art’ thing, but you still support me and gave me a chance at education I never would have had otherwise. I like to think the education has helped me with my writing skill, so thank you!
    I also want to thank Brooke, my editor, for helping me get this book into shape. I want you to know I appreciate you putting up with all the commas I put everywhere, regardless of any rules. To Lauren, you point out things that no one else does, and the things that make me want to facepalm myself and everyone else who read it before you.
    I want to thank two of my best friends, Shannon and Lindsey. You listen to me when I’m going on and on about writing, and book covers when you don’t really understand what I’m talking about. You guys have been endlessly supportive through everything.
    And last but definitely not least, I want to thank Mike. You sat with me almost ten years ago when I started writing the baby version of this series. You answered every question I had without telling me I was stupid. You’ve read every version of this story that exists or has existed. You point out the parts that don’t make sense, and helped me shape this into a career instead of just a hobby. You give me the time to write. You’ve done everything and are almost as big a part of this work as I am, from being my photographer, photoshop teacher, cover creator and formatter (three different formats), making sure I had Scrivener, and all the tools to use it, and helping me create my website. Literally, I couldn’t have done it without you.
    This book and this series would not exist in published format if not for all of you, so I want to say one more time: Thank you and I love you all.
