ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank everyone who read the manuscript and offered suggestions for improvements—in particular, Sheila Halladay, Dinah Forbes, Carolyn Marino and Carolyn Mays. There are so many others to thank for their hard work and support—my agents Dominick Abel and David Grossman; Jamie Hodder Williams, Lucy Hale, Kerry Hood, Auriol Bishop, Katie Davidson and Kate Howard at Hodder; Michael Morrison, Lisa Gallagher, Sharyn Rosenblum, Wendy Lee and Nicole Chismar at Morrow; and Doug Pepper, Ellen Seligman, Ashley Dunn and Adria Iwasutiak at McClelland & Stewart. Also thanks to the sales reps and booksellers who work so hard to get the books out there, and to you for reading them.
I would also like to offer a special thanks to Julie Kempson for her help with the legal and technical matters. Any mistakes, it goes without saying, are entirely my own.
