Near Dark (Scot Harvath #20) - Brad Thor Page 0,135
smile and a can-do attitude. Al, a million thank-yous would never be enough. You’re the best. Thanks for everything.
This year, we wanted to enhance our “look,” and that job fell to the peerless Jimmy Iacobelli of the Atria/Emily Bestler Books and Pocket Books Art Departments. The Near Dark artwork—especially when you see it on the hardcover edition—is nothing short of stunning. Jimmy, I tip my creative hat to you. Extremely well done, sir. Thank you.
My unbelievable copyeditor, Fred Chase, did such a terrific job keeping me on the straight and narrow. Thank you so much for your professionalism and hard work.
Twenty novels—and every one of them lovingly overseen by my formidable agent and dear friend, Heide Lange of Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. Heide is the representative every author dreams of having. She is brilliant, an absolute savant when it comes to publishing, gives great counsel, and is a highly respected negotiator. No matter where you encounter her in the process, she will always treat you fairly. Simply put, they don’t make them better than Heide Lange. Thank you for such an incredible journey.
Heide is backed up by a tremendous team that I am thankful for every day, including the fabulous Samantha Isman, Iwalani Kim, and everyone else at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. Thank you, all, for everything. I really appreciate all of you.
Even closer to home, Yvonne Ralsky is one of the most brilliant people I have ever known. And that brilliance is exceeded only by her sense of humor and wonderful outlook on life. I consider it an incredible privilege to know you, work with you, and call you my friend. Thank you for all that you have done for me.
One day, I am going to write a nonfiction book about all of the twists and turns in Hollywood. At the center of it, will be the dashing Scott Schwimer—my wonderful friend and absolutely dynamite entertainment attorney. Scottie, I love you tons and tons. Thank you for everything—especially your love, laughter, and infectious optimism.
Now I get to thank my incredibly accommodating, unbelievably understanding, and absolutely beautiful family. Thank you for your unconditional love and unwavering support. It means the world to me. I love you more than you will ever know.
