and to love at first sight (and Chiquita bananas)
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Im so incredibly grateful for the people whove cheered me on, offered thoughts, advice, research, and
generally just stuck with me over the past year during the writing of this book. Im overwhelmed by your
generosity and love, and thank you never seems like an adequate phrase to express how deeply I
appreciate all of you, including all the readers out there.
Jim McCarthy is more than I could have ever asked for in an agent, and I feel lucky every day to be
working with him. Krista Marino, my editor, shows endless patience and brilliance at every stage—shes
downright amazing. Kelly Galvin, my publicist, works tirelessly and yet always has time to spend an
afternoon catching up and sharing secrets. Ive loved continuing to work with the fantastic team at
Delacorte Press over the past year and am constantly overcome by their enthusiasm and dedication. Many
thanks to Beverly Horowitz for her support, to Jocelyn Lange and the subsidiary rights department for
introducing Mary and Gabry to so many countries, to Vikki Sheatsley for the beautiful design, to Jonathan
Barkat, whose photograph was the inspiration for the coaster by the sea, and to Colleen Fellingham and
Barbara Perris for their attention to detail. To the many sales associates Ive been lucky to meet online or in
person: Lauren Gromlowicz, Tim Mooney, Dandy Conway, Deanna Meyerhoff and Cristin Stickles. Also a
big thanks to Jessica Shoffel, Kimberly Langus, Rebecca Platkin and Becky Green.
During the writing of this book Ive been lucky to meet some very amazing writers whove grown into
amazing friends. Thanks to the 2009 Debutantes, Gothic Girls, Team Castle and especially my Writing
Group: Saundra Mitchell (who was willing to read and critique at any hour), Sarah MacLean, Heidi Kling,
Aprilynne Pike, Sarah Rees Brennan, RJ Anderson and Sarah Cross. Thanks also to Diana Peterfreund, a
truly fantastic friend and critique partner, Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black for giving me the chance to
expand this world and my voice, and Ally Carter for one particular phone call in which she gave me the
most perfect advice.
Without Kris Finlon, Id still be trying to figure out critical details of the plot. Thanks also to: Shea
Mucci for giving me insight into the effects of a forest fire, Dennis and the crew at 300 East for sharing all
the celebrations and excitement, Darren Cassese and Kymm for the author photos, and Madeira James for
the gorgeous online presence.
I never know how to adequately thank my family because their love and support can never be summed
up easily. Their enthusiasm for my writing is without bounds and constantly thrills, amazes and humbles
me. Thanks to Bobby and Doug Kidd for letting me borrow their romance; to my father, Tony Ryan, for car
rides when he helped me work through plot details and for always supporting my imagination; to my
sisters, Jenny Sell and Chris Warnick, for being early readers (and for not being able to put the manuscript
down while cooking dinner)—I tear up thinking about how lucky I am to be your baby sister. Also thanks
to the Davis family for supporting and loving me as if Id always been one of their own (and for accepting a
daughter-in-law who brings zombies to the family). Finally, as always, to John Parke Davis. Stephen King
once said that every author writes for one reader. JP is that reader.
