FIRES OF THE FAITHFUL - NAOMI KRITZER




Acknowledgments



First IтАЩd like to thank my editor, Anne Groell, my agent, James Frenkel,
and his assistant, Tracy Berg, for their help, support, and enthusiasm.

IтАЩd like to thank the members of the Wyrdsmiths, past and present, for
critique, encouragement, and friendship: Bill Henry, Doug Hulick, Ralph
A. N. Krantz, Harry LeBlanc, Kate Leith, Kelly McCullough, Lyda
Morehouse, and Rosalind Nelson. Very special thanks to Lyda, who, when
I told her that I wanted to write a novel but was afraid that IтАЩd write myself
into a corner, simply said, тАЬYou wonтАЩt.тАЭ Two days later, I started writing
Fires of the Faithful.

Quite a few people answered questions, helped me with research, or let me
borrow ideas. Thanks to all of them, but special thanks to Michelle Herder,
for historical information; Curtis Mitchell, for letting me borrow some
ideas on marriage customs; Geriann Brower for Italian language
consultation; and Sharon Albert and Louis Newman for Aramaic language
consultation. Of course, any linguistic mistakes or historical anachronisms
should be blamed on me, and not my consultants.

Thank you to all of my beta readers, who read and commented on earlier
versions of this book: Ed Burke, Jason Goodman, Rick Gore, Michelle
Herder, Jennifer Horn, Curtis Mitchell, Rudy Moore, Rebecca Murray, and
John Savage.
