- About the Publisher
To Messrs. Boublil and Schönberg, for reinforcing my Les Mis obsession with their spectacular musical.
To my Husband, who is my rock, without whom nothing could ever get done.
To Jess. I wrote this as if I were telling it to you at bedtime.
To my Mao, my first reader, who is the very best of friends and greatest of cheerleaders.
To my Sister, who remains convinced that she is the subconscious inspiration for this book.
To Brendra Drake, who tirelessly created Pitch Wars, which is how I got my agent!
To Rosalyn Eves and Erin Summerill, my mentors therein, for giving Nina and her gang of miscreants the opportunity to invade the world.
To Josh, my agent, who is the very best, for believing in my stories, and all the Adams Lit family for their support.
To those who made me laugh instead of cry along the way. The E.a.F. crew, Rebecca and Tomi.
To Amie Kaufman, for taking the time to share nononsense advice and saving me from many anxieties.
To my editors—Melanie, at Knopf, for all her hard work, investment, and wise direction, and Natasha, at Harper, for her passion, as well as all the many dedicated members of the Guild of Letters who serve under them. In ink is truth.
Nous sommes d’un sang.
