The First Warm Evening of the Year (25 page)

Acknowledgments

While the writing of a novel is a solitary process, it demands numerous conversations that could try the patience of a saint. I would like to thank my two saints: Joy Harris, who goes above and beyond the description of agent; and my wife, Marjorie Braman, whose creative insights, imagination, and tolerance are more than I deserve.
