Acknowledgments
Thanks as always to wonder-agent Jessica Faust and all of the folks at Sourcebooks who helped to push this manuscript into something resembling a book. To my editor Leah Hultenschmidt, who cuts right to the heart of the matter and sees what I can’t, to Danielle for all the PR efforts and my poor copyeditors who have to deal with the cockney.
A huge debt of gratitude to the ELE for keeping me sane, especially my font of wisdom, Kylie Griffin, and my CPs Dakota Harrison and CT Green who get to wade through the manuscript before anyone else ever sees it. To all of my local supporters and family, who continue to put up with my hermit-like ways and proudly support the book. And to Byron, who makes all of this possible and gets excited over the little things with me.
And finally, to my readers. Thanks for coming on the ride with me.
