I offer my heartfelt thanks here to the following individuals for making this book possible: Joe Monti (the greatest editor in the world); Russell Galen, Danny Baror, Heather Baror-Shapiro, and Angela Cheng Caplan (my agents, who made it possible for me to have a writing career); Nic Cheetham and his staff at Head of Zeus (UK edition); Lauren Jackson (publicity); Madison Penico (manuscript assistance); Valerie Shea, Steve Boldt, and Alexandre Su (copyediting); Michelle Marchese (design); Kaitlyn Snowden (production); John Vairo and John Yoo (art direction and cover); Jennifer Bergstrom and Jennifer Long (publishers); Caroline Pallotta and Allison Green (managing editorial); the various editors who published these stories initially; the friends who encouraged me to keep going and generously gave me advice; and the readers who found these stories to be worth their time and told me—without you, I would have given up.

Finally, I’m grateful for my family. They make all this worthwhile.
