Natural Born Charmer (38 page)

My emotional support begins with my husband, Bill; my sister Lydia; my wonderful sons; and the best daughters-in-law in the world, Dana Phillips and Gloria Taylor. In addition, I give thanks every day for my gifted, funny, insightful writer friends, especially Jill Barnett, Jennifer Crusie, Jennifer Greene, Kristin Hannah, Jayne Ann Krentz, Jill Marie Landis, Cathie Linz, Lindsay Longford, Suzette Van, Julie
Wachowski, and Margaret Watson. Then there are all the booksellers and librarians who continually find new readers for me. I truly appreciate it.

Professionally, I have the most fabulous team in the world supporting me at William Morrow and Avon Books, beginning with my editor, Carrie Feron. It is a joy to work with so many extraordinary people in the art, editorial, marketing, production, publicity, and sales departments. Yes, I know how lucky I am. Steven Axelrod has been my agent since he was in elementary school. It’s been a great partnership. Sharon Mitchell, my able assistant, knows how to do
everything
and I’d be lost without her.
