Five years ago I wrote the last word of the first draft of the book you’re currently holding. It’s been a long time coming, but I’m delighted that Forget This Ever Happened has finally found its way out into the world!
Thank you to my agent, Stacia Decker, for working to find this book a home, and to my editor, Mora Couch, for providing that home! Thanks to Mora as well for her spot-on editorial notes, including the excellent suggestion to set the story in the early ’90s.
Thanks as always to my beloved writing community, who is always there to support me no matter what project I’m working on: Amanda Cole, Holly Walrath, Chun Lee, Kevin O’Neill, Michael Glazner, David Young, Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, Stina Leicht, Elisabeth Commanday Swim, Lauren Dixon, the Writespace crew, and the many others I am probably forgetting to mention. Please forgive me!
And finally, thank you to my parents and to Aaron Holcomb, for all your love and support.
