Fugitive

Acknowledgments

For me, writing a novel is a team effort. After I outline my novel, I make a list of areas where I need the help of an expert. I want to thank Chic Preston, Steve Perry, and Joe Copeland for educating me about subjects of which I knew nothing. Carolyn Lindsey and Robin Haggard researched questions on the Internet for me, because I remain a techno-idiot.

Pam Webb, Jay Margulies, Karen Berry, and Jerry Margolin read drafts of Fugitive, and I appreciate their input and the time they spent.

When I finish my draft, I send it to my editor, who points out all the problems with the book that I missed, and suggests ways to improve it. If you like Fugitive, thank my editor, Sally Kim, for making it a better book than the one I sent her. Thanks also to Sally’s intrepid assistant, Maya Ziv, and to Heather Drucker, and to everyone else at HarperCollins for their support.

There is a reason why I always thank my agent, Jean Naggar, and everyone at the Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency, in the acknowledgments section of each novel. They are the best.

Last, but most important to me, is Doreen, my muse, who still inspires me to do my best.
