Bouquets of fragrant flowers to authors Alison Cherry and Nancy Cavanaugh for helping me write, rinse, and repeat. And Alison, an ori-gami swan to you for sharing your secret Facebook inbox messages with me when needed. And, yes, sometimes they are needed.
Muchas gracias to both Don Stewart and Donna Schillinger for help with my español. Let it be known, however, that any errors are all mío.
Moons and stars of thanks to the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Saratoga, Wyoming, and Playa in Summer Lake, Oregon, for providing me (and many other writers and artists) with the gift of time, space, and inspiration. You are national treasures.
Many x’s and o’s to fans of Fetching and to my new readers for reaching these very last lines. If a squirm of a hundred earthworms equals five hundred hearts, I wish them all to you.
