Winter Lost

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Sincere thanks to the people who helped me get this book in its proper shape: Collin Briggs, Linda Campbell, Dave Carson, Katharine Carson, Dan dos Santos, Ann “My Trusty Assistant” Peters, Kaye Roberson, and Anne Sowards. Michael and Susann Bock made sure that Zee’s German is correct, for which he thanks them. Also a shout-out to Jolene and Bob Briggs, who helped me get a phrase just right.

And thanks to my team at Ace: the art director, Judith Lagerman; the eagle-eyed production editor, Michelle Kasper; my marketing and publicity team, Jessica Plummer, Danielle Keir, and Stephanie Felty; and my editor Anne’s assistants, Gabbie Pachon and Annie Odders. It truly takes a village.
