writing refuge, without which this book could not have been completed on time
(or almost on time, anyway).
Heather McPeters, a fast and brilliant reader, praised the good parts of the
first draft and helped make the not-as-good parts better. So did our copy
editor, Maureen Sugden, who went above and beyond the call of duty.
We are deeply thankful for the faith and encouragement of our editor, Sarah
Durand, and our publisher, Lisa Gallagher, who have made us feel so welcome at
William Morrow. Sarah s able assistant, Emily Krump, keeps the wheels turning
smoothly a surprising amount of the time, and always leaps in to help when we
need something unexpectedly and quickly. We re also thankful for the fine work
of the Morrow art and production staff especially our production editor,
Andrea Molitor for turning our bare-bones typescript into beautiful books,
sometimes on very tight schedules!
The work doesn t end when a book is published. At Morrow, no one knows that
better than our publicist, the tireless Buzzy Porter. Buzzy and Ben Bruton
have performed Herculean labors to publicize our books, and we ll be very
grateful just as soon as we recover from the book tour! The sales and
marketing staff at Morrow have also done a wonderful job building demand for
our books. So have freelance videomeister Buck Kahler and Web designer Jack
Hardcastle, the creative minds behind Jefferson Bass.com.
Susan and Jim Seals and Mary Jo Tarvin have volunteered many hours of their
time to help make our book signings run like clockwork. Their graciousness,
thoughtfulness, and generosity are remarkable. Similarly, Donna Griffin the
Anthropology Department s secretary is helpful in more ways, on more
occasions, than we can even begin to keep track of.
Our agent, Giles Anderson, never ceases to amaze us; we appreciate the fine
job he s done of keeping us off the streets and gainfully employed these past
several years.
Last, but far from least, we re especially grateful to the many booksellers
and readers who have embraced us, our books, and our characters so warmly.
Many thanks, y all.
