June, Reimagined (84)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


It is hard enough to create a piece of art in steady times, but during a pandemic, when fear and uncertainty lurk constantly, it is an almost insurmountable feat. Almost. I want to acknowledge every artist who stubbornly persisted during this time. I need you. I celebrate you. I am in awe of you. I thank you.

To my agent, Renee Nyen, and my editor, Jason Kirk—once again, we did it. The whisky is on me.

To Carmen Johnson and the entire Amazon Publishing team—you give artists the greatest gift they can receive: a home. Thank you.

To my friend Lori, who graciously offered me her story years ago. I’m sorry it took me so damn long to write it, and I’m sorry for that time in college when I ran over a dead deer in the middle of the road and ruined your car. You’ll always be my sister. This one’s for TJ.
