I can never say it enough: Thank you so much for everything-you're the best! My agent, Theresa Park, of Sanford Greenburger Associates, has been with me every step of the way, and it's been my good fortune to have worked with her. My three sons (Miles, Ryan, and Landon) also deserve my thanks, simply because they help me keep everything in perspective. What a wild eleven years we've shared, huh?
This book is dedicated with love to Pat and Billy Mills.Īgain, I'd like to thank my wife, Cathy, who had to be more patient with me than usual while writing this novel.
