With thanks…
To Helen Heller, my agent, without whom there would be no Women of the Otherworld series.
To Anne Groell, my editor at Bantam US, for taking an interest in this book, and making the switch to Bantam absolutely painless.
To Anne Collins, my editor at Random House Canada, who knew just the solution for all my manuscript crises.
To Antonia Hodgson, my editor at Warner UK, for her continued enthusiasm and great editing advice.
Finally, to every reader who has emailed me with praise for the series. Your notes made a writer's day a whole lot brighter, and a day of writing a whole lot easier!
