ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

W
ith deep gratitude, the authors would like to acknowledge the many friends and colleaguesâand actual Norsefolkâwho helped make this book possible. First, kudos are showered upon the fabulously talented team of Laura Geringer, Lindsey Alexander, Jill Santopolo, and Carla Weise (
aka
Laura the Seer of the Tale, Lindsey the Slayer of Sloppy Syntax, Jill the Incredibly Patient, and Carla the Artful), whose creative efforts and devotion to detail can only be described as “strangely inhuman.” Many thanks, as well, to
uber
-agent Jodi Reamer, for the great judgment she showed in agreeing to represent us, for her wise counsel, and for her insistence on always picking up the check at Katz's. A tip o' the war helmet to our Norwegian friends Veslemoey and Harald Zwart for their tireless help in answering questions about all things Old Norse (and the
FÃ¥rikÃ¥l
). Furthermore, Jim would like to thank his dear friends Jamie, Chris, and Tom for their treasured friendship and support, and his mother, Thelma, for having been there with books from the beginning. He also throws a hug and a kiss to his wife, Allison, and son, Jake, who, for years, have shown great patience and fortitude in sharing his home with so many Vikings.
