Lori Avocato - Nip, Tuck, Dead

Oh…my…God again.

Coming from delicious Jagger, who the hell knew what that meant?

To all my wonderful readers. You guys are great!

It’s so fabulous to hear from you about how you love Pauline and the gang. Glad to be able to brighten your lives with a laugh! I certainly live by the motto that laughter is the best medicine.

To Jay Poynor, my agent, who is a doll and a damn good agent to boot!

To May Chen, my editor. Thanks for all your wonderful input to make this fab book more fabulous! The series can only keep getting better and better with your help. We’re a darn good team!

Thanks to Danielle Bartlett, Avon publicist from Heaven. Thanks for all your hard work and wonderful ideas!

Thanks to all the Avon/HarperCollins employees behind the scenes who contribute to making my work a success.

To all the patients who have suffered to be beautiful-and those of us who only wish we could…

Finally, thanks to whomever else thinks they’ve helped me out somewhere along this fickle road to publication. You know who you are!
