To Kelly, Kim, Katie, Allison, and all the rest at INscribe, thank you for all your hard work! Your support of Ink Monster and our books is invaluable.

Michelle—Thank you for all of your help and support through the madness that was the last year. I hope to work again with you soon!

Dani—This next year is going to be epic, and then the one after that, and the one after that. And the one after that… You get the idea! Excited for everything that’s to come!

Last, and most importantly, to my amazing husband, Jeremy. It’s been nuts. Through the amazing birth of our daughter, through the moves and craziness, through my fight with postpartum anxiety and the rush to make this book go from meh to awesome… I have no words. I literally can’t do it without you. You’re my best friend, partner, and the most amazing father. I’m in awe of your kind heart, patience, and understanding every day. I’m so proud of everything you do. Thank you for picking me to be your partner in this life. Love you more than words.
