  Acknowledgments

  I am here to dispel the notion that writers succeed on their own. It’s a lie! I owe so much to so many.

  Thank you, first and foremost, to Chris Clemans. Your brilliance is blinding, your insight is incredible, and your humor is unmatched. I am beyond thrilled to know you and to work with you.

  Thank you to Carina Guiterman, for your genius and your enthusiasm. You have made this a much, much better book.

  Amber Cady: I love you, my sparkling dark matter. Leslie Outhier: I want to giggle and draw with you forever. Tamara Taylor: you are my heart-shaped rock.

  Special thanks to Andy Elliott, who’s a master at the crossword and cleaning out the fridge. And to Dean and Jeff and all the kids, for always making me feel loved.

  Big heartfelt thanks to these incredible gems: Bill Clegg, Peter Orner, Tupelo Hassman, Matthew Clark Davison, Tavia Stewart, Ryan Bartlett, Dustin Heron, Jacob Evans, Neale Jones, the Minninghams, Paquita Schoellhorn and the entire Outhier clan, Doug and Kaye Sharon, Windsor Meyer, James Chan, James Dirito, Shaun and Molly Winter, Ben Ricker, Jillian Drewes, Nancy Espinoza Magana and Josema Zamorano, Jenga Keenan, Ali Schneider, and Aristotle Johns. Extra-special thanks to Bryan Steelman and the whole PQN clan.

  I am deeply indebted to the MacDowell Colony and to the many lovely artists I met while there. Special thanks to Zack Zadek, for keeping me on task and then serenading me afterward.

  Thank you also to Amanda Brower, for your early enthusiasm for this book.

  I would be nothing without my family. They are a wild and weird and wonderful bunch. Thank you especially to Cassie and Chris, for your grace and encouragement throughout this whole thing.

  Of course, the most important thank-yous are the most difficult to write. Tucker, thank you for years of encouragement, adventures, laughs, and love. Your name is forever inscribed on my squishy little heart.
