- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
But you know what I feel good about? How many people have given their all to get this book into your hands. I run everything by my wife, Corinne, first, but from there, Michael Bourret, my agent, helped shepherd every one of these books from start to finish. Of course, none of these would even exist if not for Liesa Mignogna, my editor at Aladdin; every book I’ve written has been made immeasurably better by her. If the books are batarangs, she’s sharpened each one to a fine point.
I can’t thank my publisher at Aladdin, Mara Anastas, enough, for always supporting me and my little stories. Aladdin’s marketing team including Caitlin Sweeny, Alissa Nigro, and Anna Jarzab have been just killing it with these, as has Cassie Malmo, my publicist; Elizabeth Mims and Sara Berko; Laura DiSiena, who designed the book; Michelle Leo and the education/library team; Stephanie Voros and the subrights group; Gary Urda, Christina Pecorale, Jerry Jensen, Christine Foye, Victor Iannone, and everyone else in sales; and the ever fantastic Vivienne To, who I wish could draw dragons on every cover of mine.
And one last thank you to you, the reader. I’m so, so sorry for what you’re going to go through in the next book. I hope you’re not too attached to anyone!
