My agent, Fran Black of Literary Counsel. Your patience, support, sage advice and good humor are constants. Thank you.

 

Kendel Lynn, Art Molinares, Anna Davis, Rachel Jackson, Erin George and the rest of the Henery Press team. You’ve made this a better book.

All of my early readers and tireless supporters, with a special shout out to my mother, Angela Tyson, Sue Norbury, Marnie Mai, Mark Anderson, Adrienne Robertson, Laura Coffey, Edie and Sam Newman, Greg Marincola, Judy Kraft, Abbe Fox, Mandy Gohn, Stephanie Wollman, Kim Morris, Ann Marie Pickarski and Carol Lizell.
