I can’t say enough about my editor, Elana Seplow-Jolley, a very talented woman who gives great notes while always encouraging and supporting my creativity. I feel extremely fortunate to have her on my team and thank her for her brilliant work.
My agent, Paul Fedorko, has always been supportive, and his belief in me is unwavering. He’s the best. Enough said.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a huge round of applause to my publicists, Christine Johnston and Dyana Messina, and my marketing managers, Alaina Waagner and Kathleen Quinlan. Their hard work in making my book known and getting it read is greatly appreciated.
I’d like to thank David Garber, who is completely unselfish with his time and has allowed me to bounce ideas off him. What a giving and talented friend.
My son, Joshua, and my daughter, Erin, are the beaming lights in my life, and they have never failed to be more than one hundred percent supportive of my efforts. Erin, a very talented and successful writer in her own right, has read early versions of all my books and has given me very helpful notes.
Many thanks to Michael and Helen Levy, Stan Finkelberg, Charley and Nikki Garrett, and Lois Feller. They, too, have read early versions of this book and have been extremely positive with their comments.
It is important that I mention Lydia Cornell. She has brought happiness into my life at a very difficult time, and her constant affirmation of my abilities has not only increased my belief in myself but has also made me want to be more prolific than ever. We should all have a Lydia in our lives.
