ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As always, my wife
and kids were a huge source of inspiration and sustenance during
the writing of this novel.
I’d also like to
thank the brother I never knew for putting mysteries in my head
that I’ve only begun to explore in this novel.
Thanks to Danny Baror
and the people at The Story Plant for their
encouragement.
Thanks, Barb, for the
beautiful design.
Thanks to Ann
Pearlman for the thoughtful cover comments.
I’d like to thank the
towns of Essex, CT and Lennox, MA for being sources of inspiration
and endless stationery stores on Long Island for allowing me my
research time.
Music is always a
tremendous source of inspiration for me. As such, I’d like to thank
Lucy Kaplansky, Lowell George, Richard Shindell, Fountains of
Wayne, and the irreplaceable Kurt Cobain for being especially
inspiring this time.
