Writing is a solitary, coffee-fueled endeavor. Getting the book in front of an audience, however, is a team effort, and my team at DAW is the best. (Better than coffee, even.) Katie, Josh, Brittanie, Alexis, Jessica, and the folks whose names I don’t know, but who helped: thank you! Extra and evergreen thanks to my agent, Lisa, who always knows what the story needs; to Tan, who always reads it first; and to Loren, always, for being willing to make coffee and cook dinner and rail with me about the evils of the patriarchy. Thank you all. Without you, Rory would not be destroying the multiverse.
