For Ken Gerhard, a great friend and seeker of the strange.
I would like to offer my very sincere thanks and deep appreciation to everyone at New Page Books and Career Press, but, particularly, Michael Pye, Laurie Kelly-Pye, Kirsten Dalley, Kara Kumpel, Gina Talucci, Jeff Piasky, and Adam Schwartz; and to all the staff at Warwick Associates for their fine promotion and publicity work. I would also like to say a very big “thank you” to my agent, Lisa Hagan, for her constant great work and support.
