The discovery of Arcadia couldn’t happen without the aid and comfort of so many differently talented people: Nate Dorward, John Sutherland, Molly Mikolowski and Nick Liberty at A Literary Light, everyone at Consortium Book Sales and Distribution, and at Constellation, too.
Alex, Gray, and Pearl provided constant support, companionship, and cups of perfectly brewed tea.
None of this could be done without Mike Madrid, who is not only responsible for the very elegant illustrations of Lily the Silent, but also for EAP’s overall book design. He is always there to remind me to live in this century, with these readers, here, right now.
And to all the wonderful people who love and share books with us: our booksellers, our librarians, and, of course, most of all, readers everywhere, my warmest thanks. Where would ideas, new and old, be without you?
My thanks to all of you for being there, and for helping solve all the curious problems Arcadia provides. As everyone knows, it’s great to have friends.
