To Julie and Jacci, with love and thanks–then and now.

Acknowledgments

To all the readers who loved Sir Gawain (the knight, not the goshawk!) in
Laird of the Wind
and asked for his story too, heartfelt thanks for the inspiration.

David King, Andy Hernandez, and Mike Braid shared expert archery advice, friendship, and much more; and special thanks to Andy for finding a longbow for a short person.

I am especially grateful to Shihan Tim Gilbert, tenth Dan black belt in Shorin Ryu, for sharing the secret of catching arrows, and for patiently, if a bit exuberantly, shooting arrows at me until I caught some myself.
