Once again I’m privileged to have worked with a wonderful editor, Faith Black. My deepest thanks for all your hard work, and for your enthusiasm and guidance. It means a lot to me.
My thanks, also, to my astute agent, Paige Wheeler. I truly appreciate all that you and Celeste Fine have done for me this year.
My dear friend in England, Ann Wraight, I thank you for your wonderful magazines that keep me in touch with my homeland.
As always, the art department has done an outstanding job on the cover. Truly brilliant. My grateful thanks to Judith Murello and her amazing team.
My apologies to all those wonderful fans who wrote with concerns about my health. I didn’t mean to alarm you with the acknowledgments in my last book. I assure you, I am quite well, and looking forward to taking you for another visit to the Pennyfoot Country Club. Thank you all so much for your e-mails. You have no idea how much I enjoy them.
To my husband, who can always make me smile when I feel like crying. Thank you for always being there when I need you.
