About the Author




To Martha Lee McKiernan: Helpmate, Lover, Friend
 Acknowledgments


Appreciation and gratitude to the following: to Daniel Kian
McKiernan, without whose help the transliterated ancient Greek used as
the magical language would have never been; to Dr. John Barr, whose
advice on sleds, sledding, and sled dogs proved invaluable; to Al
Sarrantonio, who pulled me from slush; to Pat LoBrutto, who launched
a career; to Janna Silverstein for planting a seed; to John Silbersack for
his faith; and to Jonathan Matson, who moves mountains.
And to Chief Seattle and all the others who heed the words of
Elvenkind.

night, ancient fragments bubble up, knocking on my frontal lobes for
admittance, or slipping over the walls of disbelief like heroes in the
darkness coming to rescue a consciousness entrapped within
