To Kirk DouPonce, for the ridiculous cover. You’re the literal best.
To my critique partners who helped me shape Tanwen’s journey—fellow weavers Ashley Mays, Teddi Deppner, and Avily Jerome. I love you all. To the Smoking Gunns, who are the only reason I finished drafting The Story Peddler in the first place. To the mentors who supported, encouraged, and believed in me as a writer and this story, specifically—Randy Ingermanson, Robin Jones Gunn, and James Scott Bell. Thank you for your wisdom and for being nothing like Riwor.
And to Steve Laube, who gave me a chance. You took me and this story under your wing, and I’m forever grateful. You’re a man of talent and integrity. I couldn’t have asked for a better editor. Also . . . squirrel face!
And, of course, all glory goes to God, Giver of creativity and Weaver of all things.
