Born of Deception

Acknowledgments

I was blessed to have a cadre of the most talented people who supported Born of Deception and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Number one will always be my agent, Mollie Glick, who believes in my writing and my career and whose foresight changed my life. I also have to thank my editor, Kristin Rens, whose brilliance and editing choices consistently make my books better. Big sparkly props also go to my copy editor, Martha Schwartz, who has the thankless job of cleaning up my messes; production editor Kathryn Silsand; publicity guru Caroline Sun; Emilie Polster and Stephanie Hoffman in marketing; and of course, book designer extraordinaire Ray Shappell.

Personally, I need to thank my kid lit author friends, April Henry, Cat Winters, Amber Keyser, Inara Scott, and Miriam Forster, who write with me and listen to me whine. I have to thank my tribe, Anita, Dave, Jasmine, Jeff, Billy, and Vickie, who have been my friends through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks to my son, Ethan, and his wife, Megan, for being awesome and huge thanks to my daughter, Megan, for being the other girl in my house.

And as always, thanks to my heart, Alan.
