Thank you to my family, who has put up with me on my own wild adventure. My mom, Claudy, who has always believed in me, and is the reason I’ve made my dreams a reality. My dad, Keith, who taught me that the harder you work, the luckier you get, and is the funniest person I know. My twin sister, Daniella, the second funniest, who read my first books, and didn’t tell me they were terrible—I’m so proud of you. My love, Rron, who is unbelievably supportive, and keeps me smiling every day—I love you. My grandma, Rose, who ignited my passion for storytelling. My grandpa, who doesn’t say much, but is the wisest person I know. My aunt, Angely, who has given me some of my best memories, and my uncle Carlos. JonCarlos and Luna, my star and moon—I hope you read and love these books one day, because they’re for you. My early reader, Sean. My aunt Maureen and uncle Julio. Leo the poodle, for being so cute.
And thank you, reader—here’s to another adventure.
