  First and forever I must, must, must thank my children, who are brilliant,
  charming, and deft at entertaining themselves when Mom’s locked in the office
  on deadline. They’d probably prefer my company to a few lines in a book, but
  as always, their expectations are too high; I’m just not that good a parent.
  
  
  Another thousand thank-yous (to go with the kisses!) to my husband, Anthony,
  who came up with “sinister metrosexuality” and likes Betsy almost as much as
  he likes me. He puts up with the mood swings, speechifying, and ear-cutting
  that is part and parcel of living with a mass-market paperback author, and I
  adore him for it.
  
  
  Thanks also to my PR person/best friend/evil sidekick Jessica Growette, who I
  swear lies awake at night thinking about how to get my name out there. Which
  is cool, if creepy.
  
  
  The Magic Widows, of course, must also be thanked. I learn something every
  Tuesday. Even better, sometimes I retain it!
  
  
  Special thanks to Car
