Noon at Tiffany's (65 page)

Special thanks to Dan Magil of danmagil.com for the logo and his stellar book cover design. Beth Middleworth for tinting and refining the photo of Clara. J. Patrick Heron, Esq., for his council on nineteenth century New York State law, and David Simpson of Apple, Inc., for restoring my Mac to health.

And lastly, to Steven J. Vermillion, my incredibly patient, marvelous husband for keeping me laughing and for supporting and loving me during the approximately 2,000 days that I worked like an obsessed madwoman on this book—you, my darling, are a true wonder of a man.
