ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

So many thanks to Kody Cushman. The best, most amazing tattoo artist this side of the Pacific. Not only for your invaluable knowledge about art and life and tattooing, but for giving me what I waited twenty years to get—my magnificent dragons and crows.

 

You are the absolute best, Kody. Thank you!

 

And big thanks to my editor, Alicia Condon, who has the patience of a saint. So I’ve decided to rename you Saint Alicia of the Kensington. Heh.
