Eleanor (60 page)

I also would not be anywhere today without the support of the talented authors and editors who have shared their knowledge, their readers, their experience and their encouragement with this newcomer: John Joseph Adams, Annie Bellet, Russell Blake, Michael Bunker, Peter Cawdron, Kate Danley, Will Hertling, Hugh Howey, Ted Kosmatka, Ernie Lindsey, Matthew Mather, MeiLin Miranda, Sean Platt, Neal Pollack, A.G. Riddle, Ed Robertson, Brian Spangler, Johnny Truant, Erik Wecks and David Wright.
 

Thanks as well to my friends at Amazon, who have shown such enthusiasm for this book and my work: Christopher Carlin, Caroline Carr, Serra Hagedorn, Todd Hollenbeck, Brian Mitchell and Philip Patrick.
 

I am obliged to thank the late Carl Sagan, whom I never met but whose own Eleanor deeply inspired mine.
 

And finally, my thanks to you, reader, for entrusting me with your time and your heart. I hope that I have rewarded you well.
