Deadly Little Lies (24 page)

Many thanks to my agent, Kathryn Green, for her invaluable guidance and advice; to my editor, Jennifer Besser, who always asks just the right questions.
Always
. And to Emily Schultz, who helped me delve even deeper.

A special thanks goes to fellow young adult author Stacy DeKeyser, who read pieces of
Deadly Little Lies
during the drafting stage, and who offered insightful feedback.

I’m forever grateful for the support and encouragement of friends and family members—you know who you are. Thanks also to the online community of young adult authors I’ve befriended over the years, many of whom I’ve met through yanovelists, YAWRITER, at “the Pub,” and/or through The Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit.

And lastly, to my readers, what else can I say except Thank you? Thank you times a kajillion. I am so very truly grateful for your support, encouragement, and continuous enthusiasm for my work.
