Acknowledgments

Thanks always to Jeff, my best friend and true companion. To Ron Peters and Tom Horner, talented authors and friends, for keeping their critiquing axes sharp and honest. Thanks to Ammi-Joan Paquette and Dan Ehrenhaft, for catching the vision of Elliot.

And a final thanks to turnip farmers around the world. Some may say that “hero” is too strong a word for you, but I don’t think so. Neither do the Brownies.
