Thanks to my longsuffering partner and wife, Lauren, for her boundless patience and unyielding support, not to mention all her early reads and reliable feedback. Thanks to all the usual suspects at the Gonk: Lauren Moseley, Elisabeth Scharlatt, Betsy Gleick, Michael McKenzie, Randall Lotowycz, Debra Linn, Brunson Hoole, Frazer Dobson, and all those who make me look good.
Thanks to Kurtis Lowe and Phoebe Gaston at Book Travelers West for always having my back. Thanks to Jon Cassir at CAA for putting my books in the right hands. A huge thanks to my early readers: Jarrett Middleton, Kurt Baumeister, Jenny Shank, Brock Dubbles, Jamie Ford, Jason Chambers, Marilyn Dahl, Thomas Kohnstamm, and Paul Bang-Knudsen.
And an extra special thanks are due to my longtime partners in crime Mollie Glick and Chuck Adams, who with every book push me to do my best work.
