Heroine(87)

Acknowledgments


No book is easy to write; this one was even more difficult.

For their continuous and unwavering support, huge thanks goes to my editor, Ben Rosenthal, and my agent, Adriann Ranta Zurhellen. The entire team at Katherine Tegen Books deserves a nod from me as well. This is my sixth book with them and I can easily say they are one of the best imprints to work with.

To my steady and reliable critique partners, R.C. Lewis, Kate Karyus Quinn, and Demitria Lunetta, go my unending thanks, as well as to Lydia Kang, who answers all my emails about wounds without flinching. I also need to thank Jay Willis, who answered my legal questions.

Lastly, I relied heavily on my friend John Nash, an addiction counselor, for resources and information regarding addiction in general and opioids specifically. His clients are lucky to have him.
