Dedicated with thanks and reverence to the Four Horsemen (or Horsepeople) in my life without whom very little good would have happened.
KATHRYN DRENNAN, who believed in the man she thought I could be;
HARLAN ELLISON, who through his work taught me what it was to be a writer;
NORMAN CORWIN, who through his life showed me what it was to be a human;
and MARTIN SPENCER, Paradigm agent provocateur, whose belief in my work led me to this place.
