Thanks also to my cousin Chris Bailey for my author portrait; to Oka Tai-Lee and Zachary Fetters for building a breathtaking website; and to Alyssa Sheedy for all your gorgeous paper designs.
To my friends and family, thank you for everything you have done to support this series. Mom and Dad, I know it was not the easiest year with my planning a wedding, graduating school, and writing a book all at once. I couldn’t have managed any of it without your help. Thank you for your unwavering support, both logistical and emotional. Lizzy and John Ed, thank you for continuing to be my biggest champions and my earliest readers. And especially to Alex: thank you for the innumerable smoothie bowls, for the comic relief, and for helping me write myself out of various plot corners. Somehow you kept me (mostly) on-schedule and (mostly) sane throughout this process, and still we managed to get married!
Finally, to all the readers of the The Thousandth Floor—I am so grateful for your excitement, your ideas, and your passion for the story. This series only comes to life thanks to you.
