Acknowledgments

Thanks as always to Kate Duffy, supreme-o editor of the multiverse. She is unfailingly patient, never runs out of clever ideas, and best of all, thinks I’m great.

And to Ethan Ellenberg, my agent, for setting up the deal and generally keeping me out of trouble as I juggle various obligations.

Also thanks to the wonderful flap copy writers and cover designers at Brava. I can’t write decent flap copy (the blurb on the back of the book) with a gun in my ear, and I’ve noticed that without a nice cover and intriguing flap copy, you could write the next War and Peace and it’ll just sit on the shelves. Not that this is the next War and Peace. Or even the next Gone With the Wind. But still. You see what I mean.

My name’s on the front, so if you like this book, I’ll get the credit. But all I did was cough up a manuscript; the finished product was a group effort.

Basically, this book is for the unsung heroes of publishing—the ones who worked just as hard as I did, but whose names aren’t on the cover.
