I owe a special debt of gratitude to the thousands of people on Facebook and Twitter who have made my writing life less lonely and who are willing to support every book I write. You not only buy my books, you spread the word, swag bomb your hometowns on release day, review my work online, and generally make my world a nicer place. I’m very lucky to know you.
Lastly, thanks to my mother, Claudia Baker, for seeing me through the practical and logistical challenges of supporting my family with my work, and to my father, Michael St. James, who generously gave me the use of the family name for my adult book endeavors.
And of course, to Kenneth, Rebekah, Andrew, and Caroline, who remain the reason for everything I do.
