ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

M
any thanks to Mauro DiPreta, Lisa Gallagher, and Jennifer Schulkind for helping me make this book my best one yet. Once again, I am also indebted to David Vigliano, Mike Harriot, and Matthew Snyder, the best team of agents any writer could ever hope for. Enormous thanks also to Dana Brunetti and Kevin Spacey, and my entire family at Triggerstreet, who continue to make my life much more exciting than I ever expected it to be.

As always, I am incredibly grateful to my parents, brothers, and their families for their constant support. And to my incredible family in Boston—Tonya, Bugsy, and yes, that damn bird too—I couldn’t do what I do without you. I truly believe I’m the luckiest guy I know.
