My father-in-law, Mel Schrier, for helping promote me.
My parents, Ted and Yvonne Finn, for endless patience and wisdom and encouragement and support. There will never be enough pages to thank you fully!
My children, Emily and David, the best children ever born!
My husband, Mark, who always puts my writing first. Thank you.
And finally, to all the readers out there who buy books, read books, talk about books, attend readings and events, and give writers a reason to keep writing.
