I would like to thank:
All the authors of science fiction and fantasy who have given me hours of pleasure and fired my imagination.
My friends and family whose comments and support have helped my telling of this story.
A warm thank you to “Doc” Heniford, the best teacher I ever had. You are sorely missed, my friend.
I would also like to thank Orson Scott Card for his helpful hints and wonderful instructional books, my friends Vio and Claire from ARWZ for all their support, and Wayne Hanson and Mike Mirko for their invaluable assistance as sounding boards.
