Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank all the people who helped make Isolation happen.

Tony Ain, Amanda Evans, Michael Garmon, Erin Garmon, and Rachel Broughten read it in manuscript and provided their customary astute observations. Faye’s adventures wouldn’t be the same without the thoughtful attention of those near and dear to me.

Nadia Lombardero, Kelly Bergdoll, and Jerry Steinberg were my consulting environmental scientists. Attentive readers will see that Nadia and Jerry have namesake environmental scientists in Isolation. Very attentive readers will recall that Kelly had a namesake environmental scientist in Artifacts. I am deeply grateful for their generosity in sharing their expertise. They are responsible for the passages in which I got things right, and they are innocent of wrongdoing on any occasions when I did not.

As always, I am grateful for the wonderful people at Poisoned Pen Press. My agent, Anne Hawkins, and my editor, Barbara Peters, have been my partners in bringing Faye to life for a very long time now. My publicist, Maryglenn McCombs, does a masterful job at getting the attention of people who will enjoy Faye’s stories.

And, of course, I am grateful for you, my readers.
