Dad: For being a fantastic technological genius, feedback giver, and Da, of course!
Maureen: For being the most amazing teacher a student can have, and for being so supportive and helpful all through this story-writing journey.
Henry, Sophie, and Rad: For giving their time to do a preliminary read-through of Noitcif, complete with constructive criticism and – in some of your cases - lengthy conversations about fictional topography.
Sara: Thank you for being the brotherly sibling I never had, and for helping me develop the one and only Emperor of Ytilaer.
Liz, Miranda, and Diana: For helping me, consulting with me, and being the best group of friends in the Base World, Noitcif, and beyond.
Keith and Robin: Thank you both so much for being so supportive and enthusiastic about all of my little tales.
Syd: For being an amazing sister, phone buddy, and person in general.
Daina: For being an incredible friend, and inspiring me to start writing in the first place by jotting down a little book with a certain teddy bear.
The whole of CELA: Because, honestly, what would I do without you all?!
Mrs. Geue: For letting me write a story using school vocabulary words, which ended up morphing into a allegorical novel about a little boy named Espen becoming king.
Shadow, Skeeter, and Miss: For being the best furry, fluffy, and fuzzy friends that anyone could ask for.
There wouldn't have been a 'page one' without you!
