Working Stiff

I was going to dedicate this book to my mother, but

the fact is, I’m not sure she’d totally appreciate being

named in a book that verges on the macabre (often).

But I love her anyway.

So instead I’m going to thank Kelley W. I am

withholding her last name to protect her, because

the reason I am dedicating this to her is that, finally,

I believe there is enough blood mist in it for her.

(She loves the blood mist.) See why I withheld

her last name? Love you, Kelvis.

And for Sarah Weiss, about whom I have nothing

embarrassing to say but plenty to praise, for she

is awesome.

To Cat for coming up with a brilliant title (again)!
