If You Were Here: A Novel of Suspense Page 33

  I always struggle for words to thank my tireless agent, Philip Spitzer. He is the most loyal champion a writer could ask for. His colleagues Lukas Ortiz and Lucas Hunt round out the team. And, together with his wife, Mary, he has made his agency feel like our second home.

  We also had a temporary third home this year, thanks to a storm called Sandy. Thank you, Linda and Mike, for taking us in.

  Thanks as well to retired NYPD Sergeant Edward Devlin, NYPD Sergeant Lucas Miller, UC Davis law professor Rose Cuison-Villazor, and Gary Moore for answering questions along the way. Thank you to Anne-Lise Spitzer, Richard Rhorer, and Ruth Liebmann for being good friends who know a ton about publishing. And thank you to my author-friends whose work not only inspires me but sometimes makes cameo appearances in mine, like Easter eggs, to be found by the careful reader. (For this novel, those eggs come courtesy of H.C., L.C., and K.S. Did you spot them all?)

  You may recognize some familiar real-life names in this novel, too. One of my beloved former students donated generously to Hofstra Law School’s Public Justice Foundation to have a character named for her mother, Mae Mauri. McKenna Jordan, owner of Houston’s wonderful Murder by the Book, agreed to let me use her name, because not any name would do for this particular protagonist, a fictionalized me married to my fictionalized husband.

  (If reading the story behind the story is too much like knowing how sausage is made, skip the next three paragraphs.) My husband and I met despite completely non-overlapping paths to New York City. I attended a tiny hippie college in the Pacific Northwest before working as a prosecutor and then turning to teaching and writing. My husband went to West Point and served in the army before taking up security management at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Had we not met online, we might never have met at all. No shared job. No shared friends. No shared past.

  In real life, that lack of common history made it fun to get to know each other from true scratch. But as a writer, I have always wanted to find a way to mine the potential for secrecy in a relationship where either party could be lying about the past. How much do we each really know about the lives the other led before we built one together? What events and people have we chosen to filter from the present?

  I also felt ready to write about the post–West Point and private security cultures that I’ve been privileged to learn about second-hand during my marriage. The end product is fiction, which means you won’t find details on Google about most of the specific programs mentioned in the novel. However, I hope I’ve done justice to the cultures, institutions, and time periods depicted.

  Given the backstory, I’ve never been so nervous to have my husband read a manuscript. In some ways, this is probably the most personal book I’ve written. It also, even more than the others, belongs to Sean. Thanks, mister.

  A Note to Readers

  I get sad every time I hear a person say, “I don’t read.” It’s like saying “I don’t learn,” or “I don’t laugh,” or “I don’t live.”

  I am lucky to have found readers who prove that books make you smarter, funnier, and livelier than the other bears. Writing is solitary work, but I am not a solitary creature. Getting to know readers has been an unexpected perk of publishing. Although I’ve met some of you personally at libraries and bookstores, I’m thankful that the Internet has made it possible for us to meet on my website, Facebook, and Twitter. I am truly thankful for the ongoing support, and always enjoy hearing from you.

  Some of you have gone the extra mile and serve as an online “kitchen cabinet,” weighing in on choices like character names, titles, and the funny noises kids make when they think no one is listening. You’ve driven long distances to serve as unofficial photographers and friendly questioners at author events. Your word of mouth support is better than any publicity machine.

  Though I’m sure I’ll have some omissions, I can at least try to thank you by name: Adele Sylvester, Alan Williams, Alana Kinney Amaro, Alice Wright, Allen Young, Allison Freige, Allison Russell Smith, Amanda Richards, Amber Alling, Amber Scott Guerrero, Amy Fleer, Amy Hammer, Amy Nagdeman, Amy Turner DeSelle, Amy Williams, Amy Wolf, Andrea Napier, Andrea Stacy Kirk, Andrea Wichterich, Andrew Kleeger, Andrew Morrison, Andrew T.
