Authors: Elizabeth Chandler
Thank you to my sister-in-law and niece, Sharyn and Abbie. Your enthusiasm keeps me going! Thanks to my parents, who have always been so supportive.
A huge thank-you goes to my superb editor. I wish I could find a more original way to say this, because it is no exaggeration: These three books would not have been possible without Emilia Rhodes. I am so grateful for her insights into characters and motivation, her talent for brainstorming, her ability to put her finger on the things that “bump” and to figure out why they bump, her understanding of a book’s
architecture, her skill in prioritizing, and her unfailingly upbeat outlook. Thank you to Jen Klonsky and Josh Bank for teaming us up and letting us have at it.
Finally, thank you, Bob. Love ya!
