She opened her laptop and started her paper:
My name is Riley Jane Spencer. I live in Crescent City, California, with my mom, who wears horrible, holiday-themed turtlenecks, and my dad, who does the worst impression of Jimmy Stewart ever. They are overprotective and completely embarrassing, but they’re my parents, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First and foremost, many thanks to my brilliant editor Leah Hultenschmidt who knew how to get the best out of me with this one. Cat Clyne, Derry Wilkins, and the rest of the Sourcebooks gang, I couldn’t have found a better home—thanks for welcoming me. Amberly Finarelli, my incredible agent—we’re back together and now all is right with the world! Thanks to my family for their continued support, especially my brand new nephew Lowen Scott who had nothing to do with this book, but is irresistibly adorable.
I can’t even begin to thank my best friend and constant support, Marina Adair, for listening to my plot problems, being my nurse because I’m a klutz, and checking in during deadlines to make sure I’m not dead. Joan Wendt, it all started with you and I plan to make good on every bar tab and Hawaiian vacation you’ve ever picked up. To the Rogue Writers: we’re one step closer to conquering the world!
