That Toddlin’ Town

Thanks to Shannon Fairlamb and author P.C. Haring, residents of Chicago, for checking on all the details of the Windy City.

My Partner

Since my novel Contagious, I have worked closely with my business partner, A Kovacs. Her guidance and organizational abilities were critical in getting this book made. She rocks. I couldn’t do this without her, nor would I want to.

My Editor

This is the fifth book I have made with Julian Pavia as my editor. To have that kind of consistent editorial support is a rare blessing in the world of publishing. Shiv, thanks for a great run.

Fire Engines!

Thanks to Engine Co. 98 / Ambulance 11 for help with the details that made the final scenes truly rock.

Feel the Need for Feely?
