Chapter 1

To my mother, who will always be both Tina Fay and Barefoot Contessa.
To my father, who taught me how to play cards.
To my brother, who helped me finish this book by telling me I should finish it.
To the cat, who stayed out of my way.
To Christine Gillespie at Penguin Random House, who I believe helped get this work published years ahead of when it otherwise would have been.
To Ed Bower, who was more important to this effort than the cat despite being mentioned after it (do not tell the cat).
All credit for the cover art goes to Andrei Bat, whose work can be seen on 99designs.com and elsewhere.
