Bloggers, reviewers, readers, and fellow authors: you make the greater writing community into the best sandbox. Thanks for letting us play.

Finally, thank you to our ever-patient husbands, the cutest three kiddos who know not to repeat the titles of our books at school, and this Partnership in Bestiedom that makes writing these books the best job in the world. We used to be only a couple’s massage away from marriage, but we can’t even say that anymore.
