ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am richly blessed by my agent, Lee Hough, who cares about so much more than my progress as a writer.

And what a privilege to work again with the team at WaterBrook Press, especially my brave editor, Shannon Marchese (who calls Tabor Jan “T. J.”). May blessings come to the tireless Kelly Blewett, who helped spread the word; to Kristopher Orr, the artist who found Cyndere deep in the forest; and to Mick Silva, Carol Bartley, Steve Parolini, and the rest of that remarkable team.

Whenever I work on The Auralia Thread, I’m thankful that Marsha Marks led me to Don Pape and that Don found Auralia a home at WaterBrook. The Spirit moves in mysterious ways.

A round of applause for my dear friend Rachel Beatty, who contributes such fantastic maps of the Expanse. Check out Rachel’s work at www.rachelbeattydesign.com.

I’m grateful for Danny Walter and Adrienne Lema, good friends who offered priceless opinions and editing assistance. And Anne, of course, who marked up more than one copy. Ready for round three?

I don’t have room to thank all the friends and loved ones who surrounded me with support, prayer, and inspiration, but I will thank a few: my parents, Larry and Lois Overstreet, who kept me in crayons and typewriter ribbons as I grew up; my enthusiastic Uncle Paul and Aunt Ruthie Morris; the Auralia-like poet and artist Margaret Smith, who follows the Keeper’s tracks wherever they lead; superstar YA-author Sara Zarr; John and Sharon Connell for their many years of service at the Next Chapter bookstore; Greg Wolfe, Mary Kenagy, Julie Mullins, and Beth Bevis at Image; Sean and Catherine Gaffney; John Wilson at Books and Culture; Luci Shaw, John Hoyte, Scott Cairns, Gina Ochsner, Matthew Dickerson, and the rest of the Chrysostom Society; Shelly LeMahieu Dunn and the great minds of Calvin College’s Festival of Faith and Writing; the visionaries at The Other Journal; Dick Staub, Greg Wright, Jennie Spohr, and Carlo Nakar at the Kindlings Muse; Linda Wagner and Beth Harris; Brett McCracken; Marly Youmans; Kathy Tyers; Clint Kelly; Bryan Rust; Annie Frisbie; Wayne Proctor; Todd, Angie, Zion, Brennan, and Tim Fadel; and my supportive friends at Crosspoint Church. And thank you, Stacey Solano, for a steady supply of roast beast!

My sympathies to Jennifer Gilnett and my co-workers at Seattle Pacific University who tolerated my exhaustion; to Mark Moring and the team at Christianity Today and Steve Beard at Risen magazine, who forgave my late assignments and disappearing acts.

Venturing into dark places, I needed music to light my way. Thanks to Sam Phillips—her songs have been beacons to guide me through storms. And thanks to Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine, whose music is nourishment for the soul. I also needed vats of coffee and quiet hideaways for writing, so leave big tips for Kristin Wilhite at the Grinder and the patient baristas at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse and ZuKafe.

Finally, I’m grateful for my brother, Jason, who bravely soldiers on, bringing rescue to others through his music.
