Esther Newberg-a devoted friend of thirty years-carries that fierce loyalty for which she is revered from friendship to the printed page. She and Zoe Sandler and the ICM Partners are really all one needs to cover your back.
The men of the motor vessel Twilight have added great joy to my new life. Captain Michael Cutter promised safe passage through the roughest seas and gave me priceless driving lessons on the Intrepid; Stephens Moss has provided me with the most elegant floating office any writer could imagine-and the perfect cocktail at day’s end; and Tom Rogers keeps me way too well fed. Taylor Gandy holds the sharks at a distance-always with a smile-and dances almost as well as Stephens, while Rory Naughton takes some fish bites for the team.
As always, my family and friends are my greatest joy. Cheers to Lisa and Alex! And to David Braunstein, who has shown more courage in one year than anyone I know.
Welcome to the world, Baby Eve.
Justin Feldman, Bobbie and Bones Fairstein, and Karen Cooper still sit on my shoulders and lift my spirits, always.
Michael Goldberg made the smoothest transition from best friend to best man. And I trust that he will sway with me, always.
