Dedications
Walter: I would like to dedicate this book to my wife Lisa, who has helped me see with new eyes.
Eric: Well, I was planning to dedicate this book to hideous gruesome monsters, who fill the pages of the novel and are such a never-ending comfort and delight to scribblers, but . . .
In light of Walter’s dedication, it seems more fitting (not to mention prudent) to dedicate this book to my wife Lucille, who has also helped me see with new eyes.
(As for you, hideous gruesome monsters, suck it up and stop whining. You’re supposed to be monsters, not crybabies. I’ll dedicate something else to you. In the fullness of time.)
