It takes a village to make a book, and this one has a whole host of people to thank for its existence. First, to the usual suspects: my outstanding editor Anne Groell, who has not yet pushed me off a cliff (a testament to her everlasting patience, to be sure); her assistant David Pomerico, who graciously fields all my dumb questions; Bantam publicist Greg Kubie, who has become legend around my household for his common-sense approach to pretty much everything; my stupendous agent, Jennifer Jackson, who brought us all together in the first place; and to my husband Aric, who is still not too sure about this whole vampire thing, but is along for the ride.
Continued thanks must flow in the direction of the folks at Subterranean Press (Bill! Yanni!) for keeping me fed during the lean times, and keeping me company when I'm in Michigan. Thanks also to all the helpful peeps in the secret digital clubhouse, for the advice and sounding board, and for not throwing me out for being a pretty-pretty princess. Likewise, a million thanks to Colleen Mondor and Paul Goat Allen, who always seem to "get" it.
Thanks to Team Seattle and all its affiliates, scattered across the country though we are these days. In particular, thanks to Kat Richardson for the fish sammiches; Ellen Milne and Suezie Hagy for the surprise snacks and the cat-sitting services; Greg Wild-Smith for shepherding me around SF and for keeping my website alive despite my best efforts to slay it dead.
Speaking of Seattle and its support network, permanent thanks go to Duane Wilkins for managing all the signed stuff and shipping over at the University Book Store; and to Vlad and Steve over at Third Place for always throwing a hell of an event.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR.
CHERIE PRIEST is the author of ten novels, including Bloodshot and the steampunk pulp adventures in the Clockwork Century series. Her 2009 book Boneshaker was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award; it was a PNBA Award winner and winner of the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Cherie also wrote Fathom and the Eden Moore series from Tor (Macmillan), and three novellas published by Subterranean Press. In addition to all of the above, she is a newly minted member of the Wild Cards Consortium-and her first foray into George R. R. Martin's superhero universe, Fort Freak (for which she wrote the frame story), debuted in the summer of 2011. Cherie's short stories and nonfiction articles have appeared in such fine publications as Weird Tales, Subterranean Magazine, Publishers Weekly, and the Stoker-nominated anthology Aegri Somnia from Apex. Though she spent most of her life in the southeast, she presently lives in Seattle, Washington, with her husband and a fat black cat.
