Catalyst (40 page)

Dana Kaye and Anne Whealdon of Kaye Publicity. You guys rock. Thanks for getting me out of my hovel and into the presence of flesh-and-blood readers!

Eric Myers, my agent, who never runs short of excellent advice and thankfully believes that my nutty ideas are great.

Readers, bloggers, booksellers, librarians, and teachers I’ve met this last year—I would kiss you all, but I’m sure that would freak you out.

Steven Langan, for being perpetually supportive and shepherding new poets and authors into the world.

Amber at Me, MyShelf, and I, for the gorgeous swag designing!

My friends, both Omahaan and far away. There are too many to thank. I am always grateful for the emails, the hugs, and messages of support, and the book buying!

Anna, Leo, and PJ Monardo. Whether you like it or not, you’re family. Let’s make spaghetti soon.

Drs. Dan Lydiatt and Ali Mirmiran, who gave me advice on Latin and radioactive poisons. Thank you for letting me borrow your genius.

My brothers and sisters in the Lucky 13s. I need you guys like I need caffeine.

And finally, to my patients and their families, who show me every day what it means to live, love, and be brave; and to the staff and colleagues who care for them. You bring out the best in me.
