The Girl Without a Name (26 page)

Rachel Ekstrom, my super-agent, who is there whenever I need her.

Alex Logan, who gave Zoe and me a two-book chance. I will always be grateful.

Julie Paulauski, who put her heart and soul into spreading the good word about my books.

Wunderkind (Tanya and Elena—wonder-twins activate!—and the whole team), who were both savvy and sweet in promoting Zoe in
Little Black Lies
and beyond.

All the folks at Grand Central, who made a newbie author feel like a best seller!

All my agent sibs (yes, that's you Sarah Henning, Amy Reichert, and Sarah [Br and Ju]) and all the other writer-reader-Twitter peeps who supported me.

All my friends (FB, roommate, and other!) who shared their kind words about my book and badgered their bookstores to carry Zoe.

My parents, who traveled in minus-nine-degree weather to my book launch and gave me another warmer one in Florida. Who have my back, always.

Margie Long, for loving my kids and helping us always.

Charlotte and Owen, for being my sun, moon, and stars.

And finally, Pat, for hanging out with me on this crazy and wonderful journey.
