ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book, as with every book I’ve ever written, was not a solo. It was an ensemble effort. These are just some of the people who I am awestruck to be able to call friends. Thanks to those who read early, and often, and guided me back to reality when my flights of fancy took too much wing. Kathy Kulisek, Alison Parks, John Purcell, Sandi Loper. For the technical end of things, thank you to Zeus “Is That Your Real Name” Flores. If it’s right, thank him. If it’s wrong, it’s because I didn’t understand what he told me. Thanks to the road crew: Bryan and Rachel Hicks, Debbie Baxter, Tammy Dennis, Elicia Cruz, Arlene Smith, and libraries all over Texas and Oklahoma. And thanks, as ever, to Eric Campbell and the crew at Down & Out Books. Without them, you’d have no idea what Jace Salome was up to.
