Читать книгу On the Edges of Elfland - David Mosley - Страница 7

There are so many people to thank for the publication of this book. I must, of course, first thank my friend, Cliff Wheeler, for being the first reader of the early versions of this story. I also thank the small group of writers that met not long after I first began this story who heard early chapters and commented on them. Without the encouragement of Caryn Collins, my wife’s former Head Resident in college, I do not think I would have attempted to finish this book the first time around. I also thank those who read later versions of the story both in private and online who gave me hope that this was a story worth reading. To my parents, who always encouraged their strange son’s strange writing, I too must say thank you. I must also thank my wife who supported me starting this story over again when I was in the second year of my PhD. I thank also my children who helped inspire me to publish this book so I could have something to pass on to them. I also thank God Almighty, the Poet who inspires us, who desires us to imitate him as sub-creators for whatever gifts I have with the proverbial pen.
