And love to my mother and sisters, Jeanne Miller-Mason, Carmen Mason, and Natalie Sherwood, who never are far from my thoughts, no matter how much map we cover.

All these people deserve my love and thanks, and I give them a dose here, gladly.

But it's the reader I don't know who is back here with me now, at the very end—the end that's just slightly after The End, who I want to thank especially. It doesn't matter that I wrote this in my office, all through a morning that is threatening a storm that I'm now starting to doubt is ever going to do its thing. Through the art and science of words and publishing, the real
now
is the now of you reading this, the now of you having given this book a slice of your time, wherever and whenever you did it, and whatever the season and the weather where you are. Thank you for doing that.

I hope we meet on the page again someday, and maybe even become each other's usual suspects for stories.

—Jamie Mason, June 2014
