Acknowledgments

  First and foremost, I would like to thank my mentor and editor-in-chief Anna DeStefano for all of her guidance, patience, and enthusiasm. Without you, this book would have remained an idea scribbled in the back of a notebook.

  Next, I would like to thank my cover artists Mallory Kane and Peter John, my editor and proofreader Emily Sewel, and my publishing technical advisor, the New York Times bestselling author Debora Smith.

  I would also like to thank all the friends and family members that waited with bated breath until my childhood dream came to fruition. You always said I would be a published author someday, and now I finally am.

  Finally, I want to thank my senior project coordinator Ms. Tracy Rainwater and my faculty advisor Mr. Adam Brown for giving me the motivation and the means to get this done. Nothing cures a bad case of writer’s block like a deadline.
