Many thanks to the folks at Farrar Straus Giroux, in particular Jeanne McDermott, Kate Kubert & Michael Eisenberg, who introduced me to Phil Hoose. Thanks also to the publicity staff at Little, Brown and Company; Tricycle Press; and those at Random House and Guild Press of Indiana.

Additional thanks to Gretta Miller, Rich Matheson, MJ Baumann and all at Clotho Advanced Media, Inc for their invaluable, professional help with this production.

Of course, this entire Author Program occurred because of the kindness and generosity of Phil Hoose and his family, who shared their home, office, time and energy with me in order to make this production.
