by Nick Petrie
A note on Lumidolls: I stumbled on an article about them online, much to my chagrin. They’re quite real, but I don’t recommend you go to their website. Some things you just can’t unsee. Trust me on this.
The Putnam team is wonderful to work with and very good at their job. Thanks to Katie Grinch, Emily Mlynek, Alexis Welby, Ashley McClay, Christine Ball, Sally Kim, Benjamin Lee, Ivan Held, and everyone on the world-class PRH sales team for getting my books into the world. Thanks to Scott Wilson, Nancy Resnick, and Steve Meditz for making this book both beautiful and readable.
Special thanks to editor Sara Minnich, for her storytelling sense, diligent eyeballs, and sharp red pen.
Super-special thanks to Special Agent Barbara Poelle for her enthusiastic ferocity, pointy teeth, and willingness to talk me off the ledge on a semi-regular basis.
Extended and ongoing thanks are due to the many writers who help me stay sane and connected to this wonderful community every day. You know who you are.
Thanks to the independent bookstores who are near and dear to my life as a writer and a reader. You may not know this, but recommendations from independent booksellers are the best way for readers to find great new writers, and for new writers to find readers. As a bonus, indie stores also keep dollars—and jobs—in your community. Thanks especially to Barbara Peters of The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale and to Daniel Goldin of Boswell Books in Milwaukee, essential advisors and friends.
And last but by no means least, I owe the most thanks to you, dear reader. Without your support, I’d still be wandering in the wild and mumbling to myself.
