Look Closer

Acknowledgments

Thank you to my early readers: my agent, Susanna Einstein, and my friend and first editor, Sara Minnich Blackburn, for your patience and encouragement and insights and devotion to the story. This novel would not have been the same without you.

A special thanks to my new friend and editor, Danielle Dieterich, for not missing a beat, for “getting” the novel and its oddball author from the get-go, and for final touches that (hopefully) made this novel shine. Looking forward to many more with you!

And most of all to my wonderful wife, Susan Nystrom Ellis, who knows me better than I know myself, for listening when I whine and for your brilliant insights into matters large and small in this novel. This novel never would have happened without you, lady. I love you.
