The authors would like to extend special thanks to
the following people, all of whom made Fledgling richer,
and without whom you might be reading some other book.
Mike Barker, for his unflappable good nature, and deft touch with a wiki
Sam Chupp, the voice and the will
behind the Fledgling podcast
Shaennon K. Garrity, who was kind enough
to lend us the Antonio Smith Method
Donna Gaudet, for naming Melchiza
Robert Parks, for taking it to the street
Shawna Camara and Angela Gradillas,
for their promotion work in Second Life
Toni Weisskopf of Baen Books, our patient editor
Jennifer Jackson of the Maass Agency, our marvelous agent
The many, many supporters of the Fledgling on-line project, and especially the denizens of the Theo_Waitley Live Journal Community, who made it all happen, and happen well
