Thanks to:

Randi, who has read my stories and appreciated my characters almost as long as I've been writing.

Sher, for suffering through NaNo with me and for this layout.

Zora, for artistic rescue on the covers and endless patience listening to me babble about the books.

Gale, who reads all my fanfiction and is a constant source of encouragement.

Pam, a most valuable editor who loves my characters - even the minor ones.

Peggy, for being an editor who always gave me new perspectives.

Chris Baty and the folks at the Office of Letters and Light, who sponsor National Novel Writing Month.

My parents, just for being such good parents.

Also, a big thanks to all of you who read my stories. Especially if you enjoy them!
