Once again, an enormous and heartfelt debt of gratitude goes to Erin Cashman, Susan Sipal, and my editors, Jennifer Harris and Linda Au. I need to also thank my wonderful early reader team, who always manage to catch something that has fallen through the cracks. I want to mention a special thank-you to Lesley Walsh for being particularly attentive on the last book. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to all of you.
As always, thank you to my patient family and to all of my readers, whose support and enthusiasm makes me want to keep telling stories.
