Special thanks to Thomas & Mercer’s former editorial director, Alan Turkus, for his guidance, spot-on editorial advice, and friendship. By the time
The 7th Canon
is published, Alan will be settled in Minnesota working on his own novels, and I sincerely hope you light the
#1
sign at Thomas & Mercer.
Thanks to Tami Taylor, who runs my website, creates my foreign-language book covers, creates my newsletter, and otherwise does a fantastic job. Thanks to Sean McVeigh at 425 Media for his help with all my social-media needs. You’re both a lot smarter than I am, and I’m glad to have you on my team. Thanks to Pam Binder and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association for their tremendous support of my work.
Thank you also to the loyal readers who write to tell me how much they enjoy my books and await the next. You are the reason I keep looking for the next great story.
Thanks to Joe and Catherine and to my wife, Cristina. After eleven novels, you know I couldn’t do this without you three. You know how much I love you all and how proud I am of both our children.
Thanks to my mother, Patty Dugoni. You’ve always been my inspiration. When things get tough, I think of you, raising ten kids, going back to school at forty, starting your own accounting business, and forty-three years later still going to work at your own business. Remarkable. At eighty-three, my mother attends writers’ conferences with me, and by the second day, everyone is talking about how wonderful she is. They’re right. Love you, Ma.
