This book was so much fun to write, but the science and tech of it really pushed me as a writer! I am incredibly grateful to my MiG Writers critique group—Kate Fall, Andrea Mack, Debbie Ridpath Ohi, and Carmella VanVleet—for reading and helping me work out all the kinks in this story. We have been together as a group for over a decade and your friendship is priceless. I'm so grateful to be a part of such a talented circle of ladies.
This book wouldn't have reached the reader's hands if it hadn't been for Beth Revis, Megan Shepherd, Brook Hatchett, and Mindy McGinnis. I'm eternally grateful for your expertise, encouragement, and knowledge as I developed this project. What a journey!
A huge thank you to my ride-or-die ladies—Vivi Barnes and Amy Christine Parker. Words can't express how much I appreciate you both. I can't wait to hit the road with you for another book tour!
To Jessica Khoury for a stunning and riveting cover. I am in awe of your talent.
I must give a shout-out to my family for making this writing dream of mine possible. Mom, Dad, Julianne, David and Cassia, I wouldn't have wanted to take this writing journey without you!
I'm so thankful to God for giving me the ability to write stories and share them with others. Finally, thank you to my two boys, Caleb and Luke, and husband, Doug, for always encouraging me to follow my dreams. You three are my everything!
