I want to also give a quick shout-out to Lisa White at Albert Whitman & Co., who is forever fielding my questions about promotion and events and social media and more with total grace. Someday, we will get to have that conversation about books over that drink in that tiki bar we keep talking about. Hopefully, in New Orleans.

And finally, the biggest cheerleaders of all, my family. I am forever bouncing ideas off of you, lobbing questions your way without warning, hogging the dining table or the coffee table or that really warm spot in front of the fireplace, glazing over with developing plot ideas when you try to talk to me, and generally sidelining important tasks like cleaning and dinner in order to read, write, or simply dream. I don’t know why or how you get me, but you do. I am so, so grateful.
