Most of all I would like to thank the Blue Blood faithful, just the most amazing, enthusiastic, intelligent, and gorgeous bunch of kids I have ever met. Miss Murphy always said it was like history's greatest soap opera. I would also like to thank the late Miss Jean Murphy, who taught history and art history at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, and who brought the world of ancient Rome to life in a dusty classroom. Heh-heh.) And thanks to my NY and LA main girls and main gays Katie Davis, Tina Hay, Tom Dolby and Drew Frist, Gabe Sandoval, Tristan Ashby and Jeff Chu, Tyler Rollins and Jason Lundy, Andy Goffe and Jeff Levin, Peter Edmonston and Mark Hidgen, Kate and Harold Hope, and the ever-cool Kim DeMarco. Thank you to my BFF, Jennie Kim, who always likes to be mentioned in these things. (There, you can show it to all your friends now, Tina!) A big thank-you to Tita Odette, Isabelle and Christina Gaisano. I forget that you had written them?" Now THAT's a compliment from your mom! Thank you also to the rest of my wonderful, fabulous, and infinitely supportive family: Pop, Aina, Steve, Nicholas, Joseph, Chit, Christina (most of whom run the promotion/Web/fan mail side of the business with a lot of good humor and ideas).Īlso thanks to Mom J, Dad J, and all the Johnstons. Thank you to my mom, to whom this book is dedicated, especially for saying, 'the books are so exciting.
Thank you to Elizabeth Yates, Melissa Myers, and Richie Kern at Endeavor, and Kate Lee and Larissa Silva at ICM. Thank you to my agent, Richard Abate, for keeping me focused and for the above-and-beyond handholding. Yay! And thank you to everyone at Hyperion: Go, team! Thank you to Jennifer Corcoran for the fabulous publicity, Nellie Kurtzman and Ann Dye for the awesome marketing plans, Elizabeth Clark for the gorgeous covers, and Jonathan Yaged for the faith, Simon Tasker and Dave Epstein from the sales force (a true force to behold!).
Thank you to my lovely editor, Jennifer Besser, for being such a champion of the books and for gasping on the phone about the Bliss chapters. None of this would mean anything without the two of you, but you guys already know that. Thank you to Mattie for being the light of our lives. My name is on the front cover, but these books are ours together, in every possible way.
The Blue Bloods books are the most fun and rewarding books to write, and I wouldn't be able to write them without the help, love, support, patience, and devotion of many people.įirst off, thank you to my husband, Mike Johnston, for reading all the same books I did as a teen.
