Parents
Some people have parents that manage not to stand in their way, but I lucked out in the parent raffle. My parents will blast a road for one of their kids, even when that road takes them far away. To Bill and Alice, who have been cheering my creativity since I ground up a box of crayons and smashed them into a faded rug as a solution, thanks. You not only offered encouragement when my writing was unbelievably dark, you were my first audience. Thanks for everything and yes I promise to finish book 14 soon so you can read it.
