Trespasser (38 page)
Authors: Paul Doiron
Thanks to the early readers of the manuscript—Monica Wood, Cynthia Anderson, and especially my wife, Kristen Lindquist—for their wise suggestions on how to improve the book. I owe a debt, too, to my colleagues at
Down East
for supporting my sideline writing novels, and to my family for their unflagging encouragement.
Finally, I would like to thank my editor, Charlie Spicer, who thoughtfully guided me through several revisions, and to the team at Minotaur Books, including Andrew Martin, Matthew Shear, Matthew Baldacci, Hector DeJean, and Allison Strobel, who have demonstrated such faith in me and my work. Last, I extend my gratitude to Ann Rittenberg, the best agent a novelist could hope for.
