The Book of Lost Names(110)

A special thank-you to all the book bloggers and reviewers, who do such a wonderful job of building an online community—especially to Melissa Amster and the queen bee, Kristy Barrett, both of whom went out of their way this year to help a fellow author when I asked! All of you are incredible, and I’m so grateful to you for sharing my books with readers—and for promoting reading in general.

Thanks to my whole family, especially my mom (and favorite Disney World/DVC companion), Carol; my dad, Rick; and my siblings, Karen and David, along with their families. Wanda and Mark, you are amazing in-laws: I’m so lucky. A special shout-out to Aunt Donna, Courtney, Janine, and all the Sullivans and Troubas/Lietzes, too!

To Jason (the best husband in the world) and Noah (my fun, amazing, kind son): I love the two of you more than words can say. I’m sorry that I’ve had to spend time away from you this year while promoting my books. I miss you every moment that I’m gone! And to Lauren Boulanger as well as Bridget, Kristy, Dayana, Rachel, Dinorah, Debbie, and Cindy: Thanks for being so wonderful with Noah. I couldn’t do what I do without you. Thanks, too, to Shari Resnick for your help and generosity this year.

Finally, thanks to you, the reader, for coming on this journey with me (and yikes, for reading to the end of these long-winded acknowledgments!). I know you have a lot of books to pick from, and I am so grateful when you choose to spend some of your time with one of mine. I hope to meet more of you on the road this year.
