ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There are so many awesome people who helped me get to the writing of this book; a very special sampling:

My editor Mary Bo Berry, designer Clare, photographers Miss Christine and Ric, and, of course, Pam! Go Team Oddfae—we rock! And thank y’all for my first snow in many years.

Gerry and Esther Schiller—for sushi!

Michael and Susan Jackson, for the first photos of my work that enabled me to publish the earliest incarnation of oddfae.com.

Carole Henning Larson, for the first chance to teach, on Doll Street—hey Mo!

Norm Hood and Leta Davis at Chimera Publishing, who gave the Oddfae their debut at San Diego Comic-Con—smoochies!

Christi Friesen, for handholding.

Kathy Davis, for sharing!

And last but never least—Howard and Marie Segal, for all the years of advice, encouragement and love.
