MUCH GRATITUDE TO MY clever, insightful, and supportive editor, May Chen, who always just gets me, such a luxurious feeling; to the hardworking, gifted staff at Avon who are so committed to excellence and innovation, in particular thanks to Tom Egner for the beautiful, beautiful covers, Jessie Edwards for being such a fun and creative publicity partner, and to Shawn Nicholls, so patient with all the technical questions; and to my stalwart agent, Steve Axelrod.
And heartfelt thanks to everyone who has ever tweeted, blogged, commented, written a letter to me, or in any way shared their enthusiasm for the Pennyroyal Green series books. You mean the world to me, and I love and appreciate all of you so much!
