Dedication
To Anne-Marie Donovan, my first-grade teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School, who taught me to put my butt in a chair and write.
Acknowledgments
The author gratefully acknowledges the contributions of
Greer Ilene Gilman and Delia Sherman for taking something which was good and showing her the flaws which kept it from being—well, as good as possible under the circumstances;
Valerie Smith for confident guidance which steered the author from the pyrite path of folly and spared her the tarry slough of despond which lies at its end;
Michael Swanwick and Marianne Porter for sounds, soundings, and sound advice;
Laura Anne Gilman, who got more and less than she bargained for—Excelsior, Laura Anne, and sincere thanks; and
Liz Lavalley and Gail Roberts, who are friends in need, indeed, and who may read again at last what they read first.
Elizabeth Willey (1960- )
Elizabeth Willey was nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1994 after the 1993 publication of The Well-Favored Man, her first novel. Using her collection of vintage guidebooks, she travels in real and imaginary places.
