With gratitude to John Gullo, Gregg and Kristin Casalino, Wendy Zemanski, and Michael Dwyer, all of whom patiently answered my research questions; to my editor, Lucia Macro, and the many talented folks at Avon Books who had a hand in this endeavor; to my agents, Laura Blake Peterson and Holly Frederick, Tracy Marchini and the rest of the gang at Curtis Brown, Ltd.; to Carol Fitzgerald and staff at the Book Report network; to Peter Meluso, who keeps www.wendycorsistaubcommunity.com up and running…and, most of all, to my loyal readers, who make it so worthwhile.
