Then another appeared from out of the black bay.
And another.
And still another.
A small army of bitter, depraved, insane human heads.
And then they were gone. Disappearing at once into the oil-black San Francisco night.

Acknowledgments
Let’s see how many times I can use the word “thanks” in a single paragraph. I have many people to thank, without whom this book would barely exist—and wouldn’t be worth your time to read. First, a big thanks to Chris Baty and the gang at NaNoWriMo for the inspirational kick in the arse; they got me to ditch all my usual excuses for not writing. A special thanks to Holly Lisle, for teaching me the art of the rewrite. Holly, you are a magician!
Thanks to Rebecca Hamilton, for her amazing editing that turned this book from “almost” to “done”! Thanks, as well, to Judi Fennell, for her remarkable proofreading and additional editing, and to Beth Lynne, my beta reader, for catching those last little (and important) things. Rebecca, Judi, and Beth: this book would be an embarrassment of typos and half-formed thoughts without you.
Thanks, especially, to Neal Cash and Scott Hall, for giving me the encouragement to press forward when they had not seen a single sample of my writing. Finally, thanks to Kristen, my first, best, and favorite reader. And last, but not least, a shout-out to my greatest achievements: Hannah, Lee, Kira, and Joseph—may you all reach for the stars and realize your dreams.
