EARTFELT THANKS (AND HUGS)
go to:

The team at Harper, especially Karen Chaplin, Andrea Martin, Barbara Lalicki, and Marisa Russell.

Colin Anderson and Erin Fitzsimmons, for your breathtaking vision.

Maria Gomez, for being a phone call away.

The readers, bloggers, booksellers, librarians, and teachers who supported
A Beautiful Dark
—and all of your wonderful emails, tweets, postcards, and messages!

Dark Days cohorts extraordinaire Amy Vincent, Kiersten White, and Amy Garvey, for being the best late-night-empty-Italian-restaurant-dinner-company a girl could have, and providing inspiration, support, and raucous, delirious, sleep-deprived laughter.

Anne Heltzel, Jess Rothenberg, Leila Sales, and Rebecca Serle, for rooftop wine, stoop coffee, cheese anytime, advice, tips, photo ops, horse-dancing, puns, panicked phone calls—I’m so glad we found one another.

My friends near and far—from Boston to Snug Harbor, from Chicago to DC to San Fran to right down the block; from the booth at Heidelberg to the halls of Page to caaandyhouse to sharing a cubicle wall. Whether I take the subway, the B63, or the Bolt Bus to see you, thank you for reading, for cheering me on—and reminding me that life is meant to be lived (in addition to being written about). If I know how to write about friends convincingly, if I understand friendship
at all
, it’s because of you guys.

And always, Jody and Lee Davies, Shelby Davies, Sandra and Mark Messler, and the Sigler clan. With so much love.
