    Sharon Gamboa, and everyone at Berkley—
    for working so hard to make my books better
    and put them in the hands of readers.
    And, always, to Judd.
    Acknowledgments
    To Steve Axelrod, who sometimes just shakes his head and sighs, but sometimes sends me cases of champagne (New York Times
    ! Yay, us!), and Lori Antonson and Elsie Turoci, for running the business end of my career so beautifully.
    To Suzi Thompson, for her wonderful help with the forums, and to everyone who hangs out there, for the fun conversations.
    To the werearmadillos (seriously, don’t ask): Cindy Holby, Michelle Cunnah, Barbara Ferrer, Eileen Rendahl, Serena Robar, and Marianne Mancusi, for moral support, celebrations, and a safe place to vent the steam that comes with working in such a crazy business.
    To Computer Boy and Princess, who make every single day of my life a whole lot more fun. I was just kidding about wishing I’d had pet rocks instead of kids.
    Dear Readers,
    Scientific discoveries are often far more fantastical than any fiction we authors can dream up—but sometimes we “discover” a breakthrough first! When I was finishing this book, imagine my surprise when an article in the March 25, 2009, issue of The Journal of Neuroscience reported on how brain activity can predict people’s choices. Since my whole premise behind the vampire enthrallment of shape-shifters and humans was based on altered brain activity, as Tiernan briefly explained in Atlantis Unleashed, it was rather eerie to see my fictional science echoed in reality!
    The Society of Neuroscience is an organization devoted to advancing the understanding of the brain and nervous system. However, I am sure that, unlike my fictional IAPN, it is not filled with evil scientists who wish to experiment on live shape-shifters. And apologies to the lovely Mammoth Hot Springs
