Thanks to all the folks at the Jean Cocteau Cinema and GRRM's minions for your help: Raya Golden, Melania Frazier, David Sidebottom, Laurel Zelazny, and Lenore Gallegos. And a special thank-you to Patricia Rogers and Sage for riding to the rescue.

A big thank-you to Ron Miles, Webmaster Supreme, for resuscitating my website from the dead—in style! And to Theresa Hulongbayan and Gwen Whiting for creating and wrangling my Facebook fan page!

A heartfelt thank-you to George R. R. Martin, for so many things.

Thank you to my Dinosaur Army for keeping the faith.

And thanks to Wanda Day for all she's done for me. Did you know—after my disclaimer that she was not the inspiration for the name of Rob Korrigan's axe and everything—she actually dressed up as the damn thing for the Bubonicon Masquerade in 2015? Yeah, she did that.

And as always—thanks to you for reading.
