At home, I suppose. To Anna, for everything. Specifically for reading my first draft and making invaluable suggestions. And generally for living with me for the past two years as I wondered whether I was drilling a dry well and why the bottle of Balvenie was always empty (it turns out it did not have a hairline crack). I love you.
I imagine every young man who writes a novel owes a huge thank you to his mother, but for me, it’s even more so. I’m very lucky. To have parents who always supported me and to have a mother who spent 20 years teaching eighth grade English (ah-hem, Language Arts now) at Crest Middle School in Shelby, North Carolina. Thanks Mom, for reading my manuscript, for performing outstanding editing work, and for always believing in your children, inside and outside of the classroom.
From here the list gets longer, and I risk leaving someone out. I don’t want to take that chance, so to everyone who has had a hand in this, my first novel, and helped me along the way, I say thank you.
