To Catherine MacMillan, high school counselor extraordinaire, thanks (again) for your help. Please, please say you’ll still talk to me after my son has graduated from your hallowed halls. To my friend, the amazing CBC news anchor Gloria Macarenko, thanks for answering my newsroom questions.
And my dear friends Robin Fowler and Clark and Blair Anderson: I owe you an apology. I keep stealing small fragments of your lives and sticking them in my books. In this case, I lifted your wonderful tradition of “Truly thankful.”
A couple of people must be thanked twice. First, my agent, Hilary McMahon; what a lucky gal I am to be represented by the tall drink of water that is you. You are so good at what you do. Second, my husband, Göran Fernlund. You never got frustrated, even as I had to ask you to explain Schrödinger’s Cat to me for the twenty-fifth time. I still don’t really understand it; I am far more Ashley than Stewart.
Almost last but definitely not least, I want to thank Tara Walker and Wendy Lamb. I’m not sure how I wound up with not one, but two of the best editors in the world working with me on this book. Your passion, commitment, enthusiasm, professionalism—and occasional delightful goofiness—feel like a great fit for this perennial goofball. I still pinch myself.
And to everyone at Tundra and Wendy Lamb Books who had a hand in helping this book along, I am—to lift from my friends again—“truly thankful.”
