Prank Wars (49 page)

Also, where would I be without the good actors who helped bring “Prank Wars” to life in the book trailer? A special thank you to Lucie MacNair, Josh Miller, Annie Pulsipher, Tinesha Zandamela, Julia Sachs, Amanda Rose, Jeremy Henrie, Greg Webb, Colin Rivera, Skip Warner, Estée Arts, Gabriel Nicholas, Jon Madsen, Junyi Wang, Kim Chamberlain, Lauren Wilkins, Madison Heil, Nicole Froerer, Phil Nelson, Sheridan Bronson, Skipper Plowman, Weston Childers, and Jenica Schulz.

And to Ashley Fowers Elliott, my sister (and a talented photographer). Thank you for all your photographs that I put on my blog page and for my bio page in this book. Your artistic ability never ceases to amaze me.

Of course, I need to give a nod to my Young Women, who have shared so much of my life for these past few years: Britney, Carrie, Lindsey, Lacey, Jenny, Kelly, Stacey, (and do you notice all our names end with [ee]?). Yeah, cool.

Finally, my deep gratitude goes to my WesTech Engineering crew, who swapped stories with me to help wile away the time while spinning pounds and pounds of straw into gold: Amy Beaver, Brady Ririe, Brian Martin, Carol Williams, Cheryl Anderson, Christine Vincent, David (all of ‘em—Hardin, Scott, and Snyder), Debbie Gessel, Erika Schipaanboord, Holly Gentry, Ian Anthony, Kali Wall, Jeremy Lawrence, Jodee Bielstein, Johanna Loeza, Kristi Linton, Mickaela Hawkley, Rachel Barrett, the evil twins (meaning Blake and Adam), Saul Oliveria. Deep breath—did I miss anyone? Thank you all for your stories, friendship, and name suggestions. I appreciate the great times we spent together.

All of you have touched my life for the better. Without the experience and time that we now claim as our memories, I doubt this book would ever have been possible. Thank you again.

Rules of Engagement

Stephanie Fowers loves bringing stories to life, and depending on her latest madcap ideas will do it through written word, song, and/ or film. She absolutely adores Bollywood and bonnet movies; i.e., BBC (which she supposes includes non-bonnet movies
Sherlock
and
Dr. Who
). Presently, she lives in Salt Lake where she's living the life of the starving artist. This summer, she plans to workshop her musical
The Raven
with the talented composer, Hilary Hornberger. Stephanie's also excited to film some big time shorts (and possibly some features) in the near future with her cousin and friend, Sandra Barton, and with her brilliant sister, Jacqueline Fowers. Feel free to check out the Triad's film misadventures on YouTube. And of course, since discovering the exciting world of online books, Stephanie plans to bring more of her novels out to greet the light of day. Be sure to watch for her upcoming books, including YA fantasy, science fiction, mysteries, a compilation of short twisted fairy tales, and more—much more—romantic comedies. May the adventures begin
