Acknowledgements

Thanks first to my terrific editor, Matthew Hughes – who, by the way, is himself a fabulous science fiction and fantasy author. You should read his stuff: www.archonate.com.

Second, thanks to the wonderful folks at Coteau Books for doing such a great job with design, publicity, and promotion. You’re the best!

And third, thanks to my wife, Margaret Anne, and daughter, Alice (to both of whom I read this entire book aloud), for being loving, supporting…and putting up with a husband and father who spends his days making up stories.
