Sharon—you have been, and remain, a source of serenity and patience. Your hand is the only one I want to hold on the Werewolf River Run.
* * *
Mom—you are the voice of reason. You have always taught me “To thine own self be true.” This book would not exist if not for your guidance and foresight. And for the funding of my expedition as well. Big thanks for that.
* * *
Dad—thank you for being my rock. Also, please don’t read or listen to this book. I don’t want to be called any colorful names.
* * *
Eric—thank you making me put in the werewolves and vampires. You are my drummer in the band of life, keeping a steady beat to this crazy thing that’s happening to us.
* * *
Jennifer—thank you for keeping me grounded by constantly hitting me over the head. I’m grateful for that.
* * *
Alexander & Cayla—you are the reason why I’m doing this.
* * *
Hallie & Zachary—you are also the reason why I’m doing this.
* * *
Susan—it took me 28 years to find you. But as you said on our first call “It was kismet.” I’m really looking forward to the next 28.
* * *
Nick—thank you for being my rock star agent. You took a chance on me, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I still think it was the bacon cheeseburgers we had at that amazing restaurant in Brooklyn, though.
* * *
Kim—you were on my vision board for years. Thank you for seeing through the monsters and into the heart of Monsterland. This is just the first step in our journey together.
* * *
Kevin—you have taught me more in one year than I learned in 11 years of English classes. Thank you for opening the park.
* * *
The production team at WordFire Press—I couldn’t have asked for a more professional job on the manuscript. I promise I’m done with the changes. No really, I am.
* * *
Julie & Brittney—my sincerest gratitude for putting Monsterland on the map.
* * *
And to all the readers out there—your comments and support have made everything worthwhile. Thank you all.
