Acknowledgements
Lanz Franco is a character that lived in my head for 20 years before I finally had a story to place him in. The saga of his creation is a tale unto itself which I will not elaborate upon in these pages. One thing I always knew about Lanz was that he was a time traveler and that I always wanted him to be a ladies man – both things that I was not. Lanz’s adaption into the character in these pages is due to many influences in my life – as I evolved, Lanz did as well.
As such, my acknowledgements have little to do with the actual writing of this book (except as noted) and everything to do with the people that have shaped and influenced my life and indirectly the life of Lanz Franco.
Thank you to Daniel Egusa for hiring me to work for Yasutomo and Company. The many years I’ve been able to spend in a stable work environment have given me ample opportunities to practice my craft in my off hours without worrying about whether the bills were paid.
Thank you to Lakeside Presbyterian Church of San Francisco for giving me an opportunity to give back to my community and the world. Being a Youth Leader, Choir Singer, and Lay Pastor in training, and allowing me to serve the people of Mississippi and Kenya have changed my life in profound ways.
And finally thank you to my friends and family who have made my life worth living these many years. It is my hope that these pages will entertain you and perhaps inspire you to do your own part to change the world.
Specifically, the novel demands that I thank Lia Navarro for listening to my endless story revelations that I’d have while out walking on my break time. When you laughed I knew I’d succeeded. And to Gail Hemenway, who read the early draft of this book and gave me great notes. The final version is much better because of you.
