acknowledgements
“Claire Harris… my literary agent. Claire is a creative. A book lover. She has great instincts and ideas… She had way more faith in me than I had in myself. She hung with me through bad ideas and continued brainstorming until eventually we landed on this idea. I wouldn’t be doing this if not for Claire.”
Charlie Berens, The Midwest Survival Guide
“To my agent, Claire Harris, where to start? Thank you for believing me and my work, not only this manuscript but the one that came before and, hopefully, the ones that come after. While I could quite literally not do this without you, I would never even want to.”
