Thanks to my father-in-law, Scott, for all the enthusiastic free publicity, the expert coaching in the terrifying art of live interviews, and for helping Matt and me pull off the cross-country road trip that inspired much of this book. Also for the coffee grinder. One cannot overestimate the importance of good coffee.
Thanks to my sometimes critique partner, Emery Schulz. Even though I must brave the gooier, grabbier, toothier parts of my imagination without you, you forced me to step up my game as a writer without the use of a sledgehammer.
Thanks to the members of Boy Scout troop 137 and its short-lived sister Venturer crew in the year 2003 for a camping trip that thankfully didn’t end the world, and to everyone else who, for better or worse, gave my teen years their unforgettable, tumultuous intensity. Thank you all for the inspiration.
Thank you to the authors of all the books that have made me laugh, cry, shiver, or feel warm and fuzzy inside, the books that have brightened my life and made me want to do what you do.
Finally, thanks to the online community of authors, readers, and bloggers for all your camaraderie and support. Nobody can do this alone. You guys are awesome!
