by Linda Grimes
To Michelle Wolfson, agent extraordinaire and leader of the howlingly fun Wolf Pack, I give my continued gratitude … and my apologies for those e-mails that started with “Ack!” Thanks for keeping me sane throughout this whole crazy publishing process.
Finally, to my husband, Bob, I give my unending love. Couldn’t do it without you, sweet cheeks.

About the Author
Linda Grimes grew up in Texas, where she rode horses, embarrassed herself onstage a lot, and taught teenagers they’d have to learn the rules of English before they could get away with breaking them for creativity’s sake. She currently resides in Virginia with her theater-god husband, whom she snagged after he saw her in a musical number at the now-defunct Melodrama Theater in San Antonio. There’s nothing like a rousing chorus of “If You Wanna Catch a Fish You Gotta Wiggle Your Bait” to hook a man for a lifetime. Grimes is the author of In a Fix.
