Strangers in Time

Acknowledgments

To Michelle, thanks for reading an early draft and giving great feedback.

To everyone at Grand Central Publishing who believed in this project from the first day I dropped the surprise manuscript into your collective laps. Having such a trustful relationship with a publisher is very rare, and I never take it or all of you for granted.

To Aaron and Arleen Priest, Lucy Childs, Lisa Erbach Vance, Frances Jalet-Miller, Kristen Pini, and Natalie Rosselli. You are the absolute best in the business.

To Mitch Hoffman, whose exemplary editing skills clearly work on both sides of the pond.

To everyone at Pan Macmillan who rolled up their sleeves and got immediately to work when I wrote a story set right in your backyard, albeit eight decades in the past. Your stalwart friendship and brilliant publishing continue to both humble and amaze me. Long may our partnership reign.

To Praveen Naidoo and the wonderful team at Pan Macmillan in Australia, for another record year of publishing my books.

To Caspian Dennis and Sandy Violette, who remain my biggest cheerleaders and two of my best mates.

And to Kristen White and Michelle Butler, who make the wheels on the bus go round and round.
