Horus and the Curse of Everlasting Regret (19 page)

I'd like to extend heartfelt thanks to my terrific agent, Mary Cummings, for her hard work and valuable manuscript advice, and to Betsy Amster for taking such good care of me. Thanks also to Allison Wortche and Karen Greenberg for believing in this story and greatly improving it with their excellent and incisive editorial skills. Lastly, thanks to my husband for the endless readings and rereadings, and to my parents and siblings for their lifelong encouragement. I am the luckiest.
