  61. Excerpt

The writer’s life is often solitary, but there are many people involved in bringing a book to publication. First is my agent, Dan Conaway, who has guided me for coming on twelve years (I don’t think he even knows we’ve been together that long!). He’s been a rock and much-needed sounding board. Dan’s superorganized assistant, Lauren Carsley, has made the administrative end of my business seamless, even when she had no office to go into. She’s a saint!

The team at MIRA is fabulous. My covers have been among my favorite in my career, the editing has been stellar, and their enthusiasm for my stories keeps me well-motivated! Kathy Sagan is an editor who loves editing, which helps me craft the best book I can write. I cannot underscore enough the need for an author to have a good editor. It makes all the difference in the world. Nicole Brebner and Margaret Marbury steer the ship with insight and big-picture guidance. The entire design, sales, and marketing teams are amazing, but a special shout-out to Justine Sha, who keeps me up to date on reviews, social media activities, book signings, and more. If she doesn’t have an answer, she finds who does. She is enthusiastic and genuinely loves her job, which I can tell by her liberal use of exclamation points in her emails to me!

A thread that runs through The Sorority Murder is friendship: what makes a true friend, who you can count on, and who is going to bail on you when you need them most. Lucas has Lizzy, and Regan has Jessie, and in the sorority some friendships fail while others are strengthened. Real-life friendships often travel the same course—and you really know who your friends are when you are moving! As Dan and I juggled selling our house in California and moving the family to Arizona, some of our friends really stepped up to help. Tim Simonsma in particular helped Dan in more ways than I can count—and took him fishing when he needed a break. That is the mark of a true friend. Thanks, Tim, for helping keep my husband sane during the most stressful time in his life.
