Thank you to my sister for being so supportive and for reading the terrible first draft of pretty much anything I put in front of her. It takes a lot of patience to put up with that much incoherence.

Thank you also to my parents and my brother for your love and support, and for putting up with my hermeticism and allergy to texting. I love you all, I'm just oblivious to the passage of time, forgive me.

Big huge thank you to my beta readers: Adam Pacholik, A. Jani Reitsm, Ashleigh Mattern, and Naz! Without you there would be many more plot holes, weird grammar, and characters mistaken for aliens.

Finally thank you to God for not smiting me or my computer (and many other great things).
