Thank you to the experts who helped me get cultural, scientific, and geographical stuff right—Lily, Alice, Natalia, and Calais, and Kiran and Margie at the Bennett Dam Visitor Center. And my engineer husband, Len, an expert in what he calls “plausible sounding bullsh*t.”
A bunch of people helped me get the word out for this series, including Storygram Tours, Rockstar Book Tours, and countless bloggers and reviewers. Thanks to the Writer’s Digest Novel Writing Conference, Anderson’s Young Adult Literature Conference, the BC Book Prizes, TD Canadian Children’s Book Week, the American Library Association (and of course ALL librarians!), and the Creative Ink Festival. Big thanks to everyone on my street team, the Rogues, and especially Nikki and Kelly at the Inside Story for a review video that saved me in my darkest hour. I love you guys!
Thanks to my bookish colleagues with whom I regularly rant and complain and scheme about this crazy industry—you know who you are.
My sisters, Monica, Kathy, and Tess; my mother, Audrey; my husband, Len; and my daughter, Lucy, are my biggest cheerleaders and constant inspiration. Thank you all.
