Today’s thank-you goes to the Isaacsons: Shelby, our marketing director, and her husband Tony. I met them both at Book Expo America this year and, it has to be said, they make a formidable team.
Shelby brings a voice and an outlook to DreamTime that will, I’m convinced, eventually bring younger readers to us. She’s already got an active DreamTime presence on MySpace (whereas I, frankly, would rather listen to a lecture on the Merovingian kings — a sorry lot, for those of you not familiar with them — than spend five minutes on MySpace!) and has a lot of creative ideas that probably wouldn’t occur to some of us with a few more miles on our chassis. She is enthusiastic, committed, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
And Tony, who never gets *any* of the glory, helps quietly in ways that the rest of us neither see nor imagine. He was an important presence at BEA and I look forward to seeing him next time in Los Angeles as well.
Tjose of us who get our names on the covers of the books and our thoughts enshrined within them forget sometimes that without the people who *aren’t* on the cover, we wouldn’t be there either. Many thanks to Shelby and Tony!
