To Trust a Thief (21 page)

Acknowledgments

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this book possible and supported me along the way.

To Tom, for everything you do to help me out when I’m deep in a story. To Connor and Ryanna, for your love and patience when Mommy is in writing mode, and for making me smile no matter how bad my day has been. You are my everything.

To my awesome editor, Erin Molta, you’ve truly helped make a dream come true, and you made that dream better than I could have ever hoped. And to Pat Brigandi Renee Rosen, Danielle Barclay, Elana Johnson, Jessica Cantor, and the rest of the amazing Entangled team, I am beyond thrilled to be a part of such an incredible company.

To Lisa Amowitz, for really getting me and loving me anyway. To Christine Fonseca, Bethany Wiggins, and my amazing Operation Awesome girls—Amparo Ortiz, Lindsay Scott, Kelly Andrews, Angie Townsend, Kristal Shaff, and Katrina Lantz—for your support, friendship, and encouragement. Thank you a million times over.

To Bonny Anderson—for your support, critiques, and friendship—and for creating a stunningly beautiful

necklace. Seeing Min’s locket come to life was beyond amazing. It is something I will always treasure.

To Jeannie Reusch—you took me under your wing, showed me the ropes, and were the first to kindly give

the shredding it deserved. You helped set my feet on the path, and I’ll always be grateful.

And most of all, to my sweet family and friends—my parents, Mike and Laurie Marquis; my sister and number one fan, Jeanette; my brothers and sisters-in-law, Ryan, Gail, Shaun, Michelle, and Brandon; my amazing step kids, Kyelie and Matt; and to Mindy, Tammi, Joey, Leslie, and Emily—thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement.
