Zero Repeat Forever

And then there are the readers—no, not you, though you’re great too—the early readers who took the time to look over this manuscript at various stages to help me make sure I had something good and not something horrifying. Hannah Gómez and Jenna Beacom, who beta read with a critical eye toward the depiction of identity and language, and Calais LaFontaine for her answers about Métis culture. Angie Fleming at Pinkindle for her rigorous beta reading, Deb McIntyre and Becka McIntosh for their copious edit notes, and AJ Downey for insisting that yes this was in fact a good book and deserving of a good publishing deal. Thank you all!
Thanks to the NaNoWriMo organization for providing the boost I needed to write the first draft of this book one cold November in 2011.
My family are, as always, slightly mystified but still supportive. My husband, Len, and daughter, Lucy, both inspire and endure me. My lovely sisters and mother are my biggest fans.
Thank you all so much.
