With each book I have growing appreciation for the skill and attention of the Revell publishing staff. Whether editors, marketers, designers, or publicists, I have come to feel encouragement simply upon seeing their names pop up in my email. Over the course of this series they’ve become a set of people I confidently depend on to help give readers a better book. Thank you. You know who you are.
Once again Steve Reginald, my research partner on the ground in Chicago, has been a cheerleader, an eager pair of hands when my own seemed too full to hold everything, and a spare pair of eyes when mine were too blurry to delight in the small stuff any longer.
My family has gotten used to seeing the back of my head from my office door, and I’m grateful for their respect of the writing process.
And thank you to Rachelle Gardner, the agent who makes sure I’m not walking this publishing journey alone. Grace and peace.
