Rising Tiger, page 32
And I cannot mention Heide without mentioning her splendid assistants, Iwalani Kim and Madeline Wallace, the outstanding Charles Loffredo, and the rest of the astonishing SJGA team. You all are key players in every phase of my novels, and I cannot thank you enough.
I want to give a very special heartfelt thank-you to the incredibly exceptional Yvonne Ralsky. As Executive Vice President, Yvonne is integral to everything that happens at Thor Entertainment Group. This year, we have seen not only big leaps on the publishing side of our business but also in Hollywood. That is thanks, in no small part, to you, Yvonne. In addition to your talent and professionalism, I also deeply value our friendship. Thank you for each and every thing. Here’s to another incredible year!
This last year has brought both heartache and joy. One of my greatest joys is that my friendship with my marvelous entertainment attorney, Scott Schwimer, has only grown stronger. That, and the fact that he kicked absolutely incredible ass over the last twelve months in Hollywood! We have some amazing announcements coming up—so stay tuned. Scottie, I love you more than I will ever be able to say. Thank you for an outstanding year and all the goodness we have coming down the pike. You’re the best!
And while we’re on the subject of “the best,” I want to thank my awesome family. Writing a novel involves having to spend a lot of time locked away in my office. They are so supportive and selflessly seek out new and caring ways to make my life easier. I love being an author, but I love it even more because I have their backing. Thank you for all that you did so that this novel could happen. Now it’s time to celebrate!
