As the author, I take all the credit!

No, that's not true. There are many people who deserve a tasty slice of the golden coin.

To begin with, my pre Wattpad team: my loving wife, awesome sister, and exceptional father, for the combination of editing, proofreading, motivation, castigation, and generally making sure that my writing was suitable for feeding to the public. And my post Wattpad editor-in chief, and extraordinary mother, for delivering this to the reader (or readers, hopefully). Thank you all so much! Really, I would be nowhere without you! And that goes to the rest of my family and friends too, who have supported me any so many ways during this adventure!

Next, to one of my earliest readers who proved to be incredibly helpful in her comments, and later in motivation, and giving me fantastic advice and support as I fell deeper into the hermit hole of authorship. Thank you to ea_carter for all your help!

I'd also like to drop a special mention for some of my most supportive Wattpad readers who always provided good (or at least constructive) feedback! Sarah_MacLean, LilyYWales, Sean_Immak, RachelShubert, Kythrala, EmersonLee6, Fardariesmai97... all of whom are great author's themselves, so check out their books! There have been many more kind readers and commenters, I cannot name them all, but thank you too!

Right, a book is very little without its cover. (Yes, I know you judge!). I created the cover and the map myself using GIMP (a powerful open source image manipulator), but not without the fantastic tutorials on cartographersguild.com done by Gidde and Ironmetal250, who more than likely have no idea who I am, or that this book exists, but deserve a slice too!

I also used a lot of photos from stocksnap.io from photographers who have generously shared their photos with the Creative Commons license. Thank you to all of them. The links to the original photos are posted at the bottom of this page.

Finally, and I can't stress this enough, thank you (all of you) for reading, commenting, voting, and for making writing this worthwhile!
