Acknowledgments
 

This book is possible because of the many people who support me. I had a very tough year with the loss of my mother to cancer. As always, my critique partners, Nina Bangs and Donna Maloy, were by my side. My great agent, Kimberly Whalen, was my first reader and steered this book down the right path. And, of course, I am grateful to the fantastic team at Berkley, headed by my editor, Kate Seaver, who has remarkable patience. I also have a copy editor with an eagle eye and an art department that always gets the cover just right. Thanks to them, Glory and her pals get to you in good order and on time despite my best efforts to make it otherwise. All of you help make this series one of the favorite things I’ve ever done.
