ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There are probably over a hundred people I could thank for providing input and inspiration on this series. Thanks to Amelia Craigen, Izolda Trachtenberg, April Aasheim, Michael Bellomo, Benjamin Chambers and especially Tamela Viglione for their genius minds, Jackie and Andy for putting up with me in the early years and my writing groups in San Francisco and Portland for all of their insights. Thanks to all of my lovely friends at McLeod Ganj for inspiring me and teaching me. To the beautiful folks at J Café, I tip my hat as well, for always having coffee ready for me on my crazy writing jags.

 

Finally, appreciation and some measure of apology to my family, who have done their best to tolerate my oddities, including the ones that always seem to lead me wandering for long periods far from home.
