Acknowledgments
     
    I'd like to take this opportunity to express
my gratitude to Tom and Billie Moran, whose belief in me bolstered
my confidence at a time when I really needed it. Also, I have
encountered many generous and talented writers in the past
year that have treated me like one of their own: James Newman,
Brian Knight, Gene O'Neill, Gord Rollo, Kurt Newton, L.L. Soares,
just to name a few. My partner Joel has listened to my babble
about many a story idea or character nuance without once telling me
to shut the hell up, and my mother continues to be proud of me even
if I write stories that aren't exactly to her taste. Thanks to
all the people out there who have read my stuff and offered me an
encouraging word. And finally, thank you to Jason Sizemore who
took a chance on this novella and gave it a home.
