ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There are many people who made this book possible. I want to thank each of them.

My wonderful agent, Kimberley Cameron, of Kimberley Cameron and Associates.

My equally wonderful editor, Sandra Harding, who offered needed advice, criticism, and more than a few laughs along the way.

All the great folks at Penguin, including the publisher of New American Library, Kara Welsh.

Debbie Feiner, Patricia Masters, and Dr. James “the Hawk” Hawkins for lending their names to characters in this story.

A special thanks to James Fabrick, aka Jimmy Jam, aka Rat Boy, aka Blind Lemon Laguna Beach Fabrick, for his help with all things surfing.
