A Tragic Kind of Wonderful(69)

Belated thanks to the writers I met early in my career who inspired me: Zina Yee for showing me the importance of details and consistency, Michael Humes for his examples of strength and integrity, David Luoto for his relentless out-of-left-field creativity, and Marti and Bridget McKenna for so much writing hospitality.

And special thanks to my family for accepting and loving me for who I truly am. Especially Susan, my number one fan; Shannon, for keeping me stepping right; and Rachel, for giving me back my confidence whenever I lost it in the house somewhere.
