For Peter Ahlstrom
 
Who is not only a good friend and great man,
 
But one who has been reading my books since the days when they were terrible,
 
And who strives very hard to keep them from being that way again.
 
Insoluble, Incalculable, Indefinable.
 
Indispensible.

; Acknowledgements
For help with these books, I proclaim the following people honorary Bazooka Bunnies:
 
The Indefinable Peter Ahlstrom, for whom the book is dedicated. He’s believed in me longer than anyone else on the list. Without his help, my books would be a lot worse.
 
Emily Sanderson, who (despite my various lunacies) still loves me, puts up with me, and even married me.
 
Karen Ahlstrom, who gives great advice, and who also puts up with Peter reading her my books for date night.
 
Janci Olds, who tells me what I need to hear about my writing. Bastille may be based on her just a tad, but don’t tell her, because she might end up chasing me around with a sword.
 
Kristina Kugler, who taught her two-year-old daughter to put her fingers up to her mouth and wiggle them when someone asks, ‘What does Cthulu say?’ (Does she need a better reason than that for an acknowledgment? Well, okay, she read the book too and gave lots of great feedback.)
 
Joshua Bilmes, who fights for these books. He’s our own personal Knight of Crystallia.
 
Jen Rees, who provides a sharp red pencil to fight off the goblins of bad writing.
 
Thank you all!
