City of Savages
Page 33
I’m also indebted to the Freshman Fifteens, the Class of 2K15, and the Fearless Fifteeners, my YA author debut groups, for their camaraderie and support, especially my amazing critique partner, Kelly Loy Gilbert, my fellow bloggers and confidantes Chandler Baker and Virginia Boecker, and the fabulous Kim Liggett, Jen Brooks, and Lori Goldstein. More thanks to my writing buddies Erika David and Lisa Koosis—for their friendship and their excellent notes on early drafts—as well as Loretta Torossian, whose infectious enthusiasm kept me committed to seeing this story through to the end.
And finally, thank you to the readers. I still can’t fully believe my words are in your hands. And for that, I am wildly grateful.
About the Author
LEE KELLY has wanted to write since she was old enough to hold a pencil, but it wasn’t until she began studying for the California Bar Exam that she conveniently started putting pen to paper. An entertainment lawyer by trade, Lee has practiced law in Los Angeles and New York. She lives with her husband and son in Millburn, New Jersey, though after a decade in Manhattan, she can’t help but still call herself a New Yorker. City of Savages is her first novel.
