My Team Behind Girls of Summer!

Isn’t my new book beautiful? So many people help me with so many parts of it, and I thought you might like to meet some of them, virtually.

Meg Ruley, my literary agent, at the Jane Rotrosen Literary Agency. Fortunately for me, she’s a native Nantucketer so she comes to the island often so we can celebrate. (She also comes here for other reasons, I’ve heard.)

Shauna Summers, my editor par excellence!

Tricia Patterson, my on and off island assistant. (We were in Vegas.)

Sara Mallion, my fabulous virtual assistant.

Charley Walters, my husband of 35 years!

Callie, my insistent assistant (I’m adorable so scratch my tummy)

Tim Ehrenberg, publicist, photographer, and fashion hero

My brilliant son, Josh, who continues to help me with math.

My brilliant daughter, Sam, who has given me FIVE grandchildren but won’t let me post photos of them.

So many many other people help bring this book to the light of day. It’s simply that I don’t have photos of them. Christina Hogrebe, eagle-eyed literary agentat Jane Rotrosen Literary Agency; Karen Fink, Allison Schuster, Justine Magowen, and Lexi Batsides of PHR; Chris Mason of Novation Media; and all the booksellers of all the bookstores, thank you all!
