The Mermaid's Sister(67)

Marianna Baer and Courtney Miller at Skyscape, for your expertise and enthusiasm.

And now, I’d like to thank my children even though I promised them I wouldn’t, because they make fun of me every year for being somewhat crazy during National Novel Writing Month. So, Spencer, Ellen, Joel, and Matthias, this is me not thanking you. I love you anyway.

Most of all, I want to thank God. You made beauty from ashes, just as you promised you would.
