Supernatural Fresh Meat (37 page)

My deepest gratitude to Jason, for his unending encouragement, support, and belief in my writing. Thank you to Draven for bringing me laughter, and to Lynne for championing my work. To Becky, Sarah, and Francesca, I give my love and thanks for their longtime friendships and encouragement.

Once again, my agent Howard Morhaim proved invaluable, and hearty thanks to Jo Boylett and Cath Trechman at Titan Books. The feedback of Christopher Cerasi and Rebecca Dessertine at Warner Bros. was most helpful.

Many thanks to the cast and crew of
Supernatural,
whose collective work makes the show such a delight to experience. It was a pleasure to write this novel.

And finally, I extend much admiration to the spectacular area around Lake Tahoe, with its snowy peaks and abundant wildlife. I hope that the residents of the Tahoe Basin can forgive the few geographic liberties I took with the area for the sake of storytelling.
