A kindly note from the author:

So, I have to say, I expected a slight rain of hater-juice when I decided to put my book up on Amazon for (gasp!) money, but I've gotten an influx of supportive PMs and e-mails that are all "I'm so happy for you!" and "I've been reading since the beginning and you're awesome!"

I've concluded that my tiny spectrum of readers is the absolute best group of people ever and I wanted to say a public thank you for your support. A few people have even told me they promoted my book on their blog and tumblrs and for that, I say, you are the kings and queens of awesome.

I posted this as an extra chapter, so those people who already commented would see my communal thanks.
