Poached Egg on Toast (33 page)

Thanks again to my husband, Ted. I thank my friend and former editor Dilshad Engineer, my agent, Jackie Kaiser, at Westwood Creative Artists, and Nicole Winstanley, also at WCA. Once more, a special thanks to Phyllis Bruce, my Canadian editor and publisher, for her perceptive comments, her concrete suggestions and, against all odds, her unflagging enthusiasm for the short story.
