By Fairy Means or Foul: A Starfig Investigations Novel(82)

A huge thank you to Annetta Ribken, developmental editor extraordinaire, who provided guidance and a kick ass critique. This is a better book because of your feedback.

Also, thank you to Lauren Weidner for your copy editing expertise and for being a good friend. I love your direct approach, honesty, and kindness.

A much needed thank you to Rhys Ford who has been my unofficial mentor and has answered endless rounds of questions with kindness and grace as I’ve moved through this exciting—but at times fumbling and scary—process. I’m a big advocate of kindness being contagious and I strongly believe in paying it forward. There is no better model for either than Rhys.

CS Poe, Brandon Witt, Lucy Lennox, Sloan Johnson, SJ Himes, Naomi Grant, and Alexa Land, all let me pepper them with questions about ARCs, self-publishing, software, marketing, et cetera. Thank you all!

Lou Harper did an amazing job with the cover design and put up with all my “what if we try this . . .” ideas. She is a very, very patient and talented designer.

I’d also like to thank the m/m community more generally. I have received more support, friendship, and love than I ever thought possible.
