Dan Conaway, how on earth did I get lucky enough to have you for an agent? You’re not just phenomenal at the job, you’re a gem of a person. It’s a delight to know you and to work with you. And fantastic assistant Stephen Barr, you are such a pleasure. What a team! I couldn’t love you more.
I again owe boundless thanks to wonderful editor in chief Judy Clain and publisher Michael Pietsch. Terrific people who are also terrifically talented-a rare combination. I’m incredibly fortunate and honored to be working with you. To marvelous assistant Nathan Rostron, thank you once again for all your hard work behind the scenes. And to senior copyeditor Karen Landry-another great job. Thank you.
My profound thanks to all of the wonderful folks at Mulholland Books, and especially the publicity all-star team: Nicole Dewey, Sabrina Callahan, Miriam Parker-aka my buds. Your smarts, energy, creativity, and sheer resourcefulness are phenomenal…and you couldn’t be more fun! A million thanks to you for all your hard work.
To Marillyn Holmes, I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for your help. Your keen eye and knowledge were indispensable. My love and endless thanks to you.
To Lynn Reed Baragona and Hynndie Wali, who helped keep me sane through the writing of this book. You set the gold standard for girlfriends, and somehow always know how to talk me down off the ledge and how to make me laugh through my mishigas. I love you guys!
