Blowback

Now I get to thank Emily Bestler, my fantastic editor. You are one of the most talented people I have ever had the good fortune of working with. They broke the mold when they made you. I look forward to many, many more successful years together.

As an author, to have two publishers like Louise Burke and Judith Curr, whom you like and admire professionally, is a blessing, but to like and admire them even more personally is a gift. Thanks yet again for everything.

There are only about a hundred other people at Pocket Books and Atria Books I would like to thank-from the sales force to the art, marketing, production, and PR departments, and while I can’t thank all of you by name, I want each of you to know how much I appreciate all that you do.

Esther Sung, Sarah Branham, and Jodi Lipper, thanks for all of your contributions and for everything you do every single day. None of it goes unnoticed or unappreciated.

Scott Schwimer, my dear friend and colossus of entertainment law, you make Hollywood fun. Thank you for everything, and here’s to airbags and crumple zones!

And last but certainly not least, I want to thank you, the readers. You have my deepest gratitude not only for buying my books, but also for telling so many people how much you enjoy them. At the end of the day, it’s good word of mouth that really builds an author.

Sincerely,

Brad Thor
