ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book marks the beginning of many new relationships for me, and I’d like to say thanks:

To Sarah Davies and the wonderful folks at Greenhouse Lit for inviting me to join the family.

To Kieran Viola, who championed the book and gave it a home.

To Mary Pender for her enthusiasm and vision.

Finally, a very special thanks to my old friends Barry Lyga and Paul Griffin for reminding me to keep the faith… one word at a time.
