To my agent, Dan Lazar, thank you for taking a chance on a very bizarre early manuscript. I’m startled by the amount of time and effort that you invested in this project long before I was even a client of yours. Whatever guidance I believed an agent could provide, you have certainly exceeded that by miles!
To my editor, Dave Linker, thank you for your belief in this story. I am truly grateful for the way that you’ve helped me wrangle the wild beast that is Aisle Nine. Together we’ve battled unwieldy early drafts, vanquished plot holes, and slain tons of logistical gremlins. Your insights and wisdom have been awesome.
To the brilliant folks at Writers House, HarperCollins, and HarperCollins Australia, I am most appreciative.
To my parents and my sister, thank you for believing in me. Always.
