Dedication

To Trinity Dianne Hamilton, who has the most beautiful smile in the world, even at three o'clock in the morning.

Acknowledgments

Gary, my beloved husband. I wouldn't have made it through the last year without you. Dr. Keith Nunnelee, who helped bring Trinity into the world. No small task that. Sarah Sumner for food, comfort, and emergency runs to the doctor. Mark Sumner for the same. I can't wait to see Range on the shelves. John Sumner for worrying. Nobody has better neighbors or better friends. Deborah Millitello, who took the time out of her own writing schedule to help with the baby so I could get this book finished. Marella Sands, congrats on selling your own series. I am going to take you up on that babysitting offer.

To all the rest of the Alternate Historians: Tom Drennan, N.L. Drew, and Rett McPherson, who made sure this book stood alone. New friends, new writers, who could ask for anything more.
