Street Fair (29 page)

Thanks to the unnamable amount of friends and neighbors for sticking by us to this point. Thanks to Ben, Matt, Nils Visser, Leslie Conzatti, and Robert Black for their feedback, and to all those who read and reviewed.

Thanks to artists: Christopher Kovacs for the title page logo, Nikki Becklinger for encouragement in character exploration, and Shayna Walsh for providing some of the first Fair Folk Chronicles fan art.

Thanks to musicians: Jessica de Leon (alias Vicious Poppet) for providing promotional compositions, Kenneth Petrie and Ashley Hemm Petrie for answering random bardic questions, and Ryan Murray for assurances as to possibilities for upcoming audiobooks and on various other points. (And on audiobooks, thanks again, to Matthew Rose, Bobbie Hyde, and all those who’ve helped).

Thanks to authors: Lee French and the rest of the Clockwork Dragon authors’ consortium for immeasurable support, the New Authors community, Seattle NaNoWriMo community, and the Writerpunk community for all the rallying.

Thanks as ever to the AFK Elixirs and Eatery in Renton, Washington, for being such a great venue for book events.

And thanks to everyone who bothered to read this far.

We hope you’ll join us again in each of the Four Lost Cities, which are a story admittedly much older than ours.
