ANI DIANE RICH lives in upstate New York with her husband, Fish, and two daughters, Sweetness and Light. (Names changed to protect the innocent. Although the husband knew what he was getting into.) She grew up in a small town in the mid-Hudson Valley very much like Shiny, but that’s where her life and the setting and events of Crazy in Love diverge. For instance, Lani has never been shot at, she’s never had chats with dead relatives, and she’s never inherited a multimillion-dollar hospitality business. If she had, this book would have taken a lot longer to write. So, it worked out for everyone.
