ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, there are more people to thank than I can easily remember. My husband, Jim, must be
thanked first for providing his increasingly sophisticated critical and editorial assistanceтАФand his
unflagging patience and love.

Phyllis White of Hying Coyote Books is owed thanks both for help finding good sources on wolves and
for the Tower at World-con 2000. Geoff from Fish and Wildlife in New Mexico made it possible for me
to participate in a wolf capture. Tom McCarrol and Pati Nagel insisted I needed a Web site and helped
me get it up and running. (Check it out at www.janelindskold.com)

On the publishing front, Kay McCauley offered good counsel when I needed it. Fred Herman earned my
undying gratitude by answering the phone. Teresa Nielsen Hayden taught me new things about the inside
of the editorial mind.

To all those friends who offered support during this difficult past year and gave me the strength to keep
writingтАФYvonne, Sally, Weber, Sharon, Jan, and Steve among themтАФI offer my thanks and my hopes
that you enjoy the story.

And, finally, I want to thank the Los Alamos Five and all the other readers who wrote me this year for
reminding me why I like writing books.
