Imposter (24 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Navigating a thriller can be treacherous, not just for readers but for writers too. Fortunately, I had some extraordinary folks to keep me on track, and light the path whenever I was in danger of getting lost.

Kate Harrison, my wonderful and talented editor, knew just the right questions to ask, and worked tirelessly until I could answer them. Liz Waniewski got behind the project when it was still in its infancy, and gave early direction. My readers—Paula Stokes, Brian Katcher, Corey Ann Haydu, Audrey Odom, and Clare John—were equally generous with praise and criticism, and always available for brainstorming. Danielle Borsch, Children's Department Manager at the legendary Vroman's Bookstore, was my go-to source for L.A. insider information.

A big thanks to everyone at Dial for bringing the book to publication, including Ellen Cormier, Julia McCarthy, Regina Castillo, Jasmin Rubero, Lauri Hornik, and especially Lori Thorn, for the moody, atmospheric cover.

Last but by no means least, my phenomenal agent, Ted Malawer, who has been with me every step of the way.
