Susan Forest

I would like to thank the members of Calgary’s Imaginative Fiction Writers’ Association, for their support; to Lucas Law for inviting me to participate, and whose knowledge and professionalism continue to teach me so much; and finally, to the remarkable authors, whose creative imaginations gave flesh and spirit to this amazing compilation. Thank you.

Lucas K. Law
