My responsible half would like to express my deep gratitude to my wonderful editor Stacy Cantor for her terrific help and continual support and advocacy for my work. This was a tough one to edit, what with all the parallels and double dialogue. In addition to Stacy, copy editor Chandra Wohleber did a great job making sure things were properly synched. Thanks also to first reader Christie Suave for reassuring me that the whole thing made sense. As always, thanks to my lovely family, Sarah, Maia, and Margo, who provide my life and my work with endless joy and meaning.
My irresponsible half doesn’t want to thank anyone other than myself, because first of all, hey, I did all the work, and second of all, I have a really tough time paying attention to anything for very long. Ooh. What’s that pretty light outside? Gotta go.
