Thanks to:
My wonderful wife, Andrea.
Thanks to Aja, Luanne, Clay, Randall, Wayne, Bill, Susan, Tom, Mike H, Moriah, Tad, Trevor, Kwami, Carol, Roy, Jim (Jimmy Boy!), Steve, Chet Man and all other first readers who provided valuable observation and advice. A special tip of the hat to Chris, other half of McLankford, genesis of the imagination trail that has led me here. Thanks to Eiren and Mike C for technical assistance. Thanks to Fredrick "The Great" for the awesome cover art and overall best-bud support, Seth for printed promo and hyper-sophisticated graphics tranformations, James for the cool title banner and thanks to Steve P for the super cosmic sounds. Thanks to my sister-in-law, Claudia, for the flattering photos (tough job!) Thanks to Patti for promotional advice, and for pretending that I'm something I've not yet become. And a special thanks to Meagaroonie for believing in me — and holding tight to the conviciton that my words will one day excite readers everywhere. I hope she's right.
Thanks to the creators of every inspiration, both written and experienced, seen or heard, that have helped shape these stories. Thanks to every musical group and artist (and you are many) who entertain me while writing. Part of you, in some subtle way, is in here too.
Thanks to my son, Devin, who's only been around six years but has already given me a lifetime of joy.
And most of all thanks to you, the reader. These stories are for you.
