I would like to thank the following people for their invaluable assistance: Stephen Kahn, Steve Elefant, Phil Trubey, Mat Honan, Sally Anne McCartin, Kris Bergen, Dr. Douglas Fischer, Stan Scheuffler, Jon Lee, David Yorkin, Pradeep Tarbat, Esq., Ed Antak, Gary Burdick, and Dr. Jon Shafqat.
At Doubleday, my thanks go to John Pitts, Rob Bloom, Bette Alexander, Todd Doughty, Bill Thomas, the entire Random House sales team, and, finally, to my editor and friend, Jason Kaufman. It’s been a great run, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the incredible effort expended on my behalf.
Last, and most important, I want to give a heartfelt “shout-out” to my team at Inkwell Management. Hugs to Charlie Olsen, Eliza Rothstein, Michael Carlisle, and, of course, to my agent, Richard Pine. Invasion of Privacy is our tenth book together. I still remember the day in May 1996, when Richard called from New York saying he’d read the manuscript of my first novel, Numbered Account, and asking if he could represent me. I’m pretty sure I said yes before falling off my chair. Thank you, Richard, for taking a chance. Here’s to ten more!
