My publicist at St. Martin’s, Katie Bassel, gets special thanks for setting up my book tours—and setting them up again after my bouts of laryngitis caused cancellations last year. Thanks, Katie, for your patience and perseverance.

I’m also grateful to the rest of the folks at St. Martin’s who make my books the best they can be. Thank you Sally Richardson, Brant Janeway, Erica Martirano, Jeff Dodes, Lisa Senz, Kim Ludlam, Malati Chavali, Jonathan Hollingsworth, Anne Marie Tallberg, Tracey Guest, Lisa Davis, Mike Storrings, and everyone in the Broadway and Fifth Avenue sales department. Special thanks to Danielle Fiorella for the beautiful cover!

Thanks also to my UK Editor, Wayne Brooks, and to all the people at Pan Macmillan who work hard to help my books reach my beloved UK readers.

As always, I’m grateful to my significant other, John Pagliuca, for all he does to free up my writing time, for not complaining about all the DoorDash meals, and for being ready and willing to help me escape any corner I’ve written myself into.

And finally, thank you to my readers around the world. You are the people who make it all worthwhile!
