The Order of the Elements 01 - Breaking Point (65 page)

To my friends, who asked a thousand times when the book was coming out, including those who say they don't read but will just to read this one, you're all the greatest, and this book would have gone nowhere without you all.

To Spencer Bell, a man who left this world too early but left behind music, writing, and a legacy that continually inspires me---thank you for living a unique life full of passion and creativity that continues to spread in your absence and raises awareness about adrenal cancer.

Lastly, to you, dear reader, for reading this book. Whether you liked it, loved it, or hated it, I'll be forever thankful you gave it a chance.
