Lioness Rampant [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Now that Alanna's story winds down to a close (as far as I am concerned), I'd like to thank some of the people who helped and supported me during the telling: Claire M. Smith and my friends at Harold Ober; my family, Ma, Pa and the Cap'n, and my spouse, Tim; the crazy guys of ZPPR Productions, with a special mention to George Zarr, who mapped Alanna's world, and to Pam Peterson, who served as my own patron of the arts through some hard times; to Pat, Ev, Rosy, Dawn, and the other bushi and samurai of the Investment Leasing Division; to Steve McConnell and Vic Doria, whose "attack secretary" came with an extra string to her bow; to Peter and James Thomas of Books of Wonder, the best bookstore in the universe; to David Pickling across the Big Pond; to the girls of the McAuley Home, who taught me the basics of story telling for teenagers; and to David Bradley, a most unusual Obi-Wan Kenobi.
