Joseph Hill Evans,

Actually, Dad doesn't read fiction, so if someone
doesn't tell him about this, he'll never know.

Acknowledgments

This has been a hideously complicated book to write, and I am indebted to many people for
their assistance, but especially the following, who either provided desperately needed research
help or waded through another giant-economy-sized Tad manuscript and had encouraging and useful
things to say afterward:
Deborah Beale, Matt Bialer, Arthur Ross Evans, Jo-Ann Goodwin, Deborah Grabien, Nic Grabien,
Jed Hartman, John Jarrold, Roz Kaveney, Katharine Kerr, M. J. Kramer, Mark Kreighbaum, Bruce
Lieberman, Mark McCrum, Peter Stampfel, Mitch Wagner.
As always, many thanks are due to my patient and perceptive editors, Sheila Gilbert and Betsy
Wollheim.
