It takes an island. And perhaps due to the insularity, several folks I want to heartily acknowledge have asked to remain anonymous. In addition to these Anonymoi, I am grateful to the following Vineyarders and journalists for their wisdom and suggestions: Jamie Kageleiry, Louisa Williams, Bob Drogin, Michael Colaneri, Doug Cabral, Nelson Siegelman, Peter Oberfest, the Gorgeous Group, Janice Haynes, Beckie Scotten Finn, Doug Finn, Geoff Currier, Kate Feiffer, Becky Cournoyer, Caroline Drogin, Dr. David Halsey, Dan Waters, Betty Burton, Geoff Parkhurst, Billy Meleady, and Lauren Martin and Mike Seccombe.
Much gratitude as ever to my early readers: Eowyn Mader, Brian Caspe, Amy Utstein, Marc H. Glick Esq., Kate Feiffer, Jamie Kageleiry, Michele Mortimer, and Lauren Martin.
And how fortunate I am to have Jennifer Brehl, Liz Darhansoff, and Marc H. Glick, Esq., on my team. Not to mention all the other good folk at HarperCollins and in bookstores across the land, who between them transform my manuscript into an attractively published novel that ends up on your nightstand.
