The Killer in Me

Laura Schreiber got under the skin of this story and helped realize its true potential. As someone who understands the challenges of editing, I’m deeply grateful for her patience and vision.
Jody Corbett kept me honest with her eagle-eyed reads of the book; Maria Elias gave it a gorgeous presentation. So many thanks to everyone else on the Hyperion team.
Nicole Lesperance was the first reader of this story and offered astute critique and encouragement in equal measure. Many thanks to her and to my other friends at Absolute Write.
Thank you to my colleagues at Seven Days for teaching me the useful investigative principle of JDLR (“just doesn’t look right”), and for your patience and flexibility.
Thank you to my dad, Harvey Sollberger, for raising me with books, scaring me with tales of the lost mines of the Southwest, and exploring New Mexico with me.
And to my fellow hardworking members of the Deadbeat Club, Sophie Quest and Eva Sollberger: thank you for being there, day in and day out.
