I OWE A WEALTH
of thanks to the following people for their support and infinite patience:

Len Soucy of the Raptor Trust, a brilliant owl expert and the most patient educator. Without you I could never have brought Odysseus so vividly to life. I hope I did you proud. Odysseus remains, as he is destined to be, proud and free!

Pat, for books of edicts, hours of time and valuable friendship.

Michael, my quintessential source on Queen Victoria. Thanks for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and your equally vast library with me.

Lisa, a special fan, a wonderful friend.

Jayne Ann Krentz, who took the time out of her own whirlwind schedule to read and endorse
Echoes in the Mist.
Jayne, I’m proud and grateful for your enthusiastic support.

And last, but never least, a few perpetual thank-yous.

To the incomparable other two thirds of my “dream team,” Caroline Tolley and Alice Harron Orr—the finest, most caring editor and agent any author could hope to work with.

And to my critique partner, Karen Plunkett-Powell, whose abilities never fail to astound me and whose insights are indispensable. Welcome back, Plunk.
