Acknowledgments

God: That lone pair of footprints in the sand is You carrying me through this. You prompted me to make some bold choices, and I’m so glad I listened. I give You all the praise for this.

Lindsey: I don’t know how you do it. I honest to God don’t. Thank you for your undying love and support and constant encouragement, even on the hard days. You are incredible; my love for you knows no depths. Now let’s take a vacation.

Levi, Lawson, & Linden: I long for the day when you boys are old enough to read these books and that you might finally understand what all this blood, sweat, and tears has been about! The three of you have forever changed me, and I am a better man because of it. I love you more than words can convey.

My parents and family: From day one, you always believed in me. Without that confidence you instilled, this series wouldn’t exist. I love you all so very much!

My team of Jody, Fiona, and Kasia: I am blessed to have the three of you working with me. Epic wouldn’t be Epic (or epic!) without you. You’re the best part of the process!

Aaron Spuler: You have been on this ride with me from the very beginning! Thank you so much for being an awesome fan, friend, support, and help with this series—and for your willingness to beta read this book! I’m blessed to have you, man.

Michael Buonagurio: You have been a steadfast friend, voice of wisdom, and ear to listen since our paths crossed what feels like so long ago. You make me a better writer, and Epic benefits because of it. Thank you so much.

To my outstanding and ever-faithful fans on social media: What I really want to do is name you all individually (I pay attention!), but I’m terrified I might leave someone out, and that would just be too much. But you are the guys and gals who like, comment, and lend your encouragement all throughout this process as I share it. I know who you are! Each and every one of you is special to me.
