ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I always say the same thing during acknowledgments, but truthfully, these people keep me going each book. I owe thank-yous to a great many people. My editor at Berkley, Kate Seaver. My agent, Meredith Bernstein. My husband—Samwise Galenorn—and our four cats. My assistants, Jennifer Price and Andria Holley. Friends who listen to me vent—Jo and Maura, Carol and Vicki. All so very helpful in a business that just as easily eats you up and spits you out as offers you the chance to do what you love.

To my spiritual guardians—Mielikki, Tapio, Ukko, and Rauni—I give my thanks and devotion.

To all my loyal readers who buy my books to support my habit of writing—thank you. I hope you continue to love the stories, and I hope to continue to write them!
