Special thanks to all the individual authors for their excitement over doing stories for this anthology; to my editor, Tom Dupree, for his enthusiasm over the concept; to my wife, Rebecca Moesta Anderson, for her support in this and all my other projects; and to Daniel Keys Moran and Heather McConnell, who were there to watch the expression on my face when I stopped dead in my tracks on a hiking trail in the redwood forests of California with the sudden idea for this book.
