Unintended Consequences (33 page)
I have benefitted enormously from the guidance of editors Caroline Tolley and Doug Wagner. I am also grateful for those readers who willingly gave their time and constructive advice to early drafts: MaryLouise Wilson, Frank Ridge, Erika Callahan, Alice and Henri Gaudette, Dave Barnes, and last, but certainly not least, my sister, Judith Greenfield. In addition, members of the Creative Writing Group of the Villages gave me continuous feedback as the story took shape, for which I’m very appreciative. Julian Schreibman helped me avoid some legal mistakes, and those that remain are solely my doing. Thanks also to Derek Murphy for his fantastic cover design. Finally, I wish to thank the people at The Editorial Department who helped make the publication of this book a reality: Morgana Gallaway, Beth Jusino, Chris Fisher, and Jane Ryder.
