Everybody’s got a bit of peculiar in them, but Kansas is swimming in it. To the oddballs, eccentrics, weirdoes and kooks, as long as they’re on the good side of things, this book’s for you.
To Zak, our beloved dog, who’s had a rather peculiar year, one ending in the loss of a limb, but not his spirit.
Thanks to Nora Folan. And as always, a special dedication to Cydney and Sarah—keep being peculiar, my loves!
