Eve: In the Beginning (36 page)

Many thanks to my husband, Chris, for being patient when I tell him I’ve finished a book but then dive right into the next one.

This manuscript has seen a myriad of readers and editors, including those in my fabulous critique group, which consists of Jeff Savage, Lu Ann Staheli, Robison Wells, Annette Lyon, Sarah M. Eden, and Michele Holmes. Thank you!

Early readers of the manuscript were essential in developing the story. Thanks to my parents, Kent and Gayle Brown, for looking over this story in its roughest form.

As with all my work, this manuscript passed through several stages of editing. Angela Eschler, Kelsey Allan, Mindy Holt, Micala Downs, Melissa Marler, and Julie Wright all added valuable feedback. I can’t thank them enough!

My final thanks go to my agent, Jane Dystel, for her encouragement and for keeping me on the right track.
