Acknowledgments

Many thanks to my brothers: Cameron Allen, Edgar Allen, Sherwin Allen; and to my brothers-from-a-different-mother: Jason Murray, Kevin Eady, Gene Durnell, Geoffrey Philp, Leejay Kline; and to the greatest teachers a young writer could ever hope to have: Les Standiford, Lynne Barrett, John Dufresne, Meri-Jane Rochelson, and James Hall—thanks for being there at the birth of this baby.

I give my thanks as well to those who gave generously of their time to read the parts or the whole, or who listened attentively while I read it to them: Lou Skellings, Ken Boos, Andrea Selch, Janell Walden Agyeman, Joseph McNair, Josett Peat, Elena Perez, Ivonne Lamazares, Robin Steinmetz, Joseph Steinmetz, Lisa Shaw, Tiina Lombard, Ellen Milmed, Edward Glenn (your comments on the “Pinkeye” section were great—sorry that passage didn’t make the final cut, LOL), Ariel Gonzalez, Sally Naylor, Jesse Milner, Ellen Wehle, Elizabeth Cox, Gonzalo Barr, David Beatty, Marlene Naylor, Anthony Thomas. Your patience and your wise words are much appreciated. I listened … most of the time.

To Johnny Temple, words cannot express my gratitude, but all I have are words. Thanks, Johnny. You make writing books fun again.
