Amber Sloan, for confirming my questions around obtaining a driver’s license in Alaska (which, after I stopped panicking about having that entire plot thread wrong, allowed me to incorporate the humiliating moose incident).
James “Wild Boy” Huggins, for tolerating my endless questions about how to crash planes. As a pilot, I’m sure you enjoyed the intense focus. I couldn’t make that fuel-mistake story work within here, but if I write another book, it’s going in.
Hannah Mary McKinnon and Sandra Cortez, for eagerly reading the ugly version littered with murmurs and mutters and a thousand adverbs.
Jenn Sommersby, for your love of syntax, your sharp eye, and your keen wit. Also, for always fitting me into your editing schedule.
Karen Lawson, for providing a second set of critical eyes for those pesky last errors that inevitably slip through the cracks.
Hang Le, for your immense talent and creativity. The cover is everything I wanted it to be.
Nina Grinstead of Social Butterfly PR, for your help and expertise with spreading the word about this book release.
Stacey Donaghy of Donaghy Literary Group, for your endless support and faith in me over the past seven years.
Tami, Sarah, and Amélie, for keeping Tucker’s Troop alive and a fun place to be.
My readers, for your excitement behind this sequel. It was palpable, and a bit terrifying, to be honest. I hope you have enjoyed the ride.
My family, for giving me a reason to work so hard.
