Dredging Up Memories (30 page)

The Great Big Page of Thankfulness

I’d like to thank a ton of folks, but that list would be longer than this book is. Still, there are some I wish to thank personally:

To my old writing group,
Liquid Imagination
, where Hank Walker’s story was birthed. Many of the stories I have written over the years have direct connections to you guys and gals. Without y’all, well…let’s not dwell on that.

Justin Dunne, your constant encouragement and questions about Hank and his story helped keep me going when I started to lose enthusiasm with it. Sometimes you just need someone pushing you onward. In my case, this was you. Thanks, Mate.

A special thanks goes to the administration of the
Tales of the Zombie Wars
(TOWWZ) website. If not for you guys, Hank’s story would have ended at that opening chapter.

For all the folks who commented on
Dredging Up Memories
on TOWWZ, thank you. Your comments, as much as anything else, played a huge part in this story continuing and even finding its end. It was always good to see a chapter posted, but the real thrill came from the comments of you fine folks.

As always, a great big thanks and a huge kiss go to my wife, Cate, for constantly telling me I can do this writing thing and for not letting me give up when I felt nothing was going well.

Finally, to all of you, Faithful Readers. You are the driving force behind many writers. To be read, to have your work enjoyed by you, is one of the biggest thrills a writer can have.  Thank you.
