Roadside Crosses

Author’s Note

One theme of this novel is the blurring of the line between the "synthetic world"-the online life-and the real world. Accordingly, if you happen to come across a website address in the pages that follow, you might wish to type it into your browser and go where it takes you. You won’t need what’s in those websites to enjoy the novel, but you may just find a few extra clues that will help you unravel the mystery. You might also simply be interested-or disturbed-by what you find there.
