A very special thanks to Lisa Gus. Without her this project might never have seen the light of day.Thanks to Row80 for being the greatest writer’s group ever: you give me encouragement, advice, music, laughter, and fellowship. Stacey Wallace Benefiel, Kait Nolan, Lauralynn Elliot, Claudia LaFeve, Kate Copeseeley, and Jeff Brian kept me laughing, pulled Twitter sprints, and generally kept me from getting sucked into distractions while I worked on Chronicles. Thanks also to the amazing staff of the IBC, who kept me from taking myself too seriously, or not seriously enough. This story had its genesis at the DC ’09 and ’10 writer’s workshops. Thanks to Alina Blanco, Gigi Ganesh, and Mandy Petriewski. To Standard Deluxe for being an oasis of fellowship and creativity in somewhat dark times, and for being the kickin’est music venue this side of the Mississippi.To Max and Grace, who no longer think it strange to have a mother who plays make-believe for a living. Mom, thanks for all your support.
