Thanks to my wife, Deb, for insisting I finish this crazy idea and putting up with me while I did it. And to fellow author Xio Axelrod for hearing about this back when it was only an idea called M Pallas, and not telling me I was crazy.
I’d also like to thank Julie Gray, my editor, whose first and most important responsibility was to convince me I needed an editor, and Kim Killion, the cover artist who has to put up with some ridiculously sketchy design proposals. (Six genres! Here’s ten objects to put on the cover! Go!)
Finally, I want to thank the many contributors to the KBoards, for the title of the book, (and the blurb) and for helping me see genre fiction in a way that informed a lot of the things in this novel. You guys are the best.
