Thanks to Andrew Karre, Sweet Editor Man. Thanks for giving me faith, for caring about books, and for being so ridiculously competent and smart.
Thanks to Super Agent Guy Edward Necarsulmer IV and his amazing assistant/sidekick Cate Martin. She ain’t no Robin, folks. You make being a writer a joyous thing. I never doubt that I’m in superhero hands. Plus, how many agents pick you up and spin you around in a hotel lobby? Only the best ones … Only the best …
Oh, yeah, thanks again to Emily Ciciotte and Belle Vachon for letting me use their names. There are betta fish named after you guys now. Really! How cool is that?
Thanks to Emily Wing Smith, Johanna Staley Arnone, Christopher Maselli, Ed Briant, Bruce Frost, Kellye Crocker, Cindy Faughman, G. Neri, Greg Fishbone and the Class of 2k7, Vermont College’s Whirligigs, my lovely Livejournal friends, the Cyber Girl Circuit and the cast of Tamra Wight’s Schmooze and Robin McCready’s PW’s. You are all the best writing family a person could ever want. Thanks for writing good books for such good reasons.
Thanks to J. K. Richard, who knows everything about Postum and horses. You are a hero every day, even if you do think you’re just a softie.
Thanks to Jo Knowles. Jo, you are the best advocate/writer/friend a person could have. Thanks for defending TIPS.
And finally, thanks to my family for being my family. I love you, Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro, Nana, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, the whole crazy she-bang.
