To say that writing this book was a labor of love is like saying the Mona Lisa is a picture. I am deeply indebted to the following dear souls who helped make the process considerably smoother than it would have been without them.
Saskia Benjamin at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta located the date of Ansel Adams - the Early Years and sent me to the right person in Boston (who asked to remain anonymous) for more information about Wind, the earliest known photograph by Ansel Adams.
Eveleen Cecchini checked the details about birding and kept me from calling it bird-watching.
Dr. Marty Goldstein, author of The Nature of Animal Healing ©1999 (published by Ballantine Publishing Group), gave me permission to use his name and to quote from his book. Please note: I know my story is set several years before his book was published. Call it artistic license.
The whole wonderful staff of Loving Touch Animal Center in Stone Mountain GA took me seriously when I asked them how many mice a cat will eat per day, and how to treat a certain injury.
Any factual errors are my responsibility alone.
And I offer gratitude to the cats who have adopted me, and who help me with my manuscripts by:
a) making me laugh a lot, and
b) typing for me ][]]]]]]]]]]]]][ whenever I hoiuknlj turned aside to mnbmblkj answer a phone call.
With colors in all the titles of the Biscuit McKee series, I hope you’ll explore the entire rainbow with me.
