  Acknowledgments

  Cheesie couldn’t have built his fabulous website without the Waxcreative Design team (waxcreative.com), led by Emily Cotler and Abi Bowling. Georgie wouldn’t be such a good artist without the talents of cartoonist Violet Charles (bridget​over​troubled​waters.​blogspot.​com). And the plot wouldn’t be as funny, clever, and tight without creative help from writers Julia Quinn (juliaquinn.com) and T. Zachary Cotler (winteranthology.com). [Full disclosure: These are this author’s five children.]

  Thanks also to editor Jim Thomas and agent Dan Lazar, whose understanding of the genre and the marketplace is wide, deep, and generously shared.
