Lots of gratitude to Herb and Nancy Katz for their regard, commitment, and effort on behalf of my novel. Their work turned a manuscript into a book and a dream into a reality. Thank you. And a special thanks to Herb, who turned Miles to Go into Still Among the Living.

I learned much of my writing craft from Susan Goodman and Sharon Singer Salinger. Without their generous time and teaching, Still Among the Living would be still inside my head.

Thanks also to Bill and Bonnie, Ron, Dr. J., Jeff, Pav, Eddie, Eric and Nancy and Anjsan. Your support and enthusiasm eased many a blank and anxious moment.

And thank you Larry and Eamon for a wonderful welcome to the business of book writing.
