The Metropolis Series #2: Quinn Beyond Bounds

FIRST OF ALL, I’d like to thank my beta readers who helped me shape the Metropolis into what it is today:

To Noddy, my online friend from Australia who had been around since the very early developments of Quinn on DeviantArt. Thank you for listening to my strangest ideas and for providing some of your own, from the wildest Metropolis lore to the obscure symbolism I would slip into the book.

To KB, for her honest opinions on the (very) rough draft of Beyond Bounds, for her diligence in pointing out what could be improved, and for her all-out encouragement of the series. This book wouldn’t have been the same without her, particularly the ending.

To my sister for proofreading and for keeping Quinn out of the bad room (typo for band room), and to my mom for quality control of the final layout.

To my Japanese-speaking friends for helping me write Harumi’s journal. 本当にありがとうございました！

To my friends and office mates for their support of the series and for listening to my ramblings at lunchtime. However, I do have to point out their encouragement on me getting a graphics display tablet. I’m now doing illustrations faster than ever, and it’s amazing. I also learn a lot of art tips from you guys, so thank you very much.

To those who have first read Quinn and the Metropolis and have provided their honest reviews: Bookaholic Belle, Des Reads, Darcy, Ally, EK, Luis, @thebookschapters_, @jasmeeow, and all the others who send their reviews after the publication of this book.

To the people at Materica/Gutenberg Philippines for patiently replying to my emails and for making Quinn on print possible.

And finally, to my parents, family, friends, school mates, colleagues, and former teachers for their immense support on my endeavors, and for the little pieces of inspiration they give me so that I can continue to build the Metropolis.
