Professionally, I have the most fabulous team in the world supporting me at William Morrow and Avon Books, beginning with my editor, Carrie Feron. It is a joy to work with so many extraordinary people in the art, editorial, marketing, production, publicity, and sales departments. Yes, I know how lucky I am. Steven Axelrod has been my agent since he was in elementary school. It’s been a great partnership. Sharon Mitchell, my able assistant, knows how to do everything and I’d be lost without her.

Finally, a huge thanks to my son Zach Phillips for letting me use two of his songs, “Why Not Smile?” (copyright 2006) and “Cry Like I Do” (copyright 2003). Zach, you truly rock.
