“Tamara Mataya, you’re the greatest editor ever,” she said, because she can’t lay off the dialog tags. “I’d be lost without you in so many ways.”
To Bethany Hagen, Gennifer Albin, Kayti McGee, Laura Barnes, and Tamara Mataya—you’re the best friends I’ve never hugged or spilled gin on, and I’m going to remedy that soon. Thank you for the countless times you’ve made me laugh, cry, drink, swear, flail, squee, and fan myself. Your words, your minds, your beauty, and your friendship are golden.
To my daughters, thank you for giving me the time and space to write, even when you really really really just want me to get up and get the purple paint.
To my husband, whose love and sense of humor I could not live without, thank you for your endless encouragement, patience, and understanding. You’ve always been the one.
About the Author
Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her lipstick red, and her history with the naughty bits left in. The SPEAK EASY series was inspired by her affection for good gin, her fascination with local history, and her obsession for the Prohibition era. When she’s not writing or dancing the Charleston, you might find her sipping a Queen Anne’s Revenge at The Sugar House in Detroit or a Double Plus Good at The Oakland in Ferndale. Belly up to the bar and say hello or connect with her online…
