A huge thanks is due to Darci Cole, who listened to more whining than anybody, and did a serious amount of cheerleading as I worked through the drafts of this book. Darci, you are amazing. Thank you for your optimism and your friendship. I would have lost my mind without you.
Thank you to my husband Drew for his infinite patience with me and my work, and for always believing I can do it, even when I lose faith.
Thanks most of all to Brandon, who has believed in my work longer than almost anybody. Thank you for trusting me with your characters （and giving me a hand up out of my own deep plot holes）。 It’s an honor and a privilege to tell these stories with you.
Janci
Thank you to Brandon and Janci for bringing this second Skyward Flight novella to life. It’s always a great experience working with you both, as it is with our incredible narrator Suzy Jackson. Thank you.
Thanks again to Joshua Bilmes, Eddie Schneider, everyone at Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Samara and the team at Brickshop Audio as well as everyone at Listening Library, Penguin Random House Audio, and Delacorte Press. And, of course, thank you to everyone at Mainframe involved in this project; especially Juliana Fernandes, Julian Mann, Will Newell, and Craig Shields.
