I’m fortunate to have the greatest literary agent in the U.S., Molly Friedrich, who’s not only a trusted adviser but also a valued reader. Lucy Carson and Paul Cirone at the Friedrich Agency were important early readers. Clair Lamb was a trusted editor and researcher as well as a valued part of the team that makes my website so good, along with Karen Louie-Joyce. And my assistant, Claire Baldwin, is truly the definition of invaluable. Thanks so much.
I’m indebted to my brother Henry Finder, for all of his brainstorming and editing, and to my amazing editor at St. Martin’s, Keith Kahla, who wouldn’t let me stop revising until he felt I got it just right.
Finally, my love and gratitude to my wife, Michele Souda, and my daughter, Emma, for their constant love and encouragement—and maybe most of all for their great sense of humor, which keeps me grounded and sane. Most of the time, anyway.
