Special thanks to:

Nancy Davis, whose sharp eye and sharper sensibility keep me honest and on course; David Van Ness—the man who never sleeps—for being the book’s keel and rudder; Emily Glossbrenner for the very best index a reader could ever hope for (take a look, you’ll see); Mimi Heft for effortlessly solving problems that left me scratching my head; Warren and Sam for convincing Ella and Cooper to waive their usual modeling fees; Marjorie Baer for convincing me that LA isn’t so bad; and Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel for making this life of at-home work possible. And home wouldn’t be home without my study buddy, Laika, who knows that walks keep us going.
