Roar sat beside her. “So you want to just wait for them here?”
“Sure.” She bumped his shoulder with her own and smiled. “It’s a good place to wait. This is home.”
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book marks the end of years of effort by many people. Thank you first and foremost to Barbara Lalicki for her unerring guidance and belief in this story. I couldn’t have asked for a better editor. These books would not exist without Rosemary Brosnan and Andrew Harwell, both of whom were constant sources of support, encouragement, and editorial wisdom.
My gratitude goes to Susan Katz and Kate Jackson for taking a chance on Peregrine and Aria, to Kim VandeWater and Olivia deLeon for all their efforts to promote the trilogy, and to Melinda Weigel and Karen Sherman for bringing polish and accuracy to my words.
I am ever thankful to my agents, Josh and Tracey Adams, for steering me through the business aspects of the writing life with humor and dedication. Thanks also to Stephen Moore for all his efforts.
I have turned many times to Lorin Oberweger, Eric Elfman, Jackie Garlick, and Lia Keyes for advice through the writing of this trilogy. Talia Vance, Donna Cooner, Katy Longshore, and Bret Ballou have been there for me since the beginning. To all of you I say: thank you, and are you up for another series?
My family deserves far more of my appreciation and love than I can fit on this page, but here goes anyway. Mom and Dad. Gui and Ci. Pedro and Maji. Toni and Mike. Shawn, Tracy, Nancy, Terri. Taylor, Morgan, Ju, Bea. Luca and Rocky. Michael. I love you. Thanks for putting up with me these past years while I spent far more time with Aria and Perry than I did with you.
Finally, thank you for letting me tell you a story about a girl and a boy who did something extraordinary. Your turn now. Find your heading, your Still Blue, and get there. I know you can.
