Jamie, an old woman's voice whispers from the keyhole of a door only I can see. Come. Come to me and live forever.
No, I tell her, just as I told her in my vision. No.
And . . . so far, so good. But eventually something will happen. Something always does. And when it does . . .
I will come to Mother.

Author's Note
CHUCK VERRILL is my agent. He sold the book, and provided aid and comfort along the way.
NAN GRAHAM edited the book with a sharp eye and an even sharper blue pencil.
RUSS DORR, my tireless researcher, provided information when information was needed. If I screwed something up, it was because I failed to understand. In such cases blame me, not him.
SUSAN MOLDOW took all my calls, even when I was being a pain in the ass, and urged me ever onward.
MARSHA DeFILIPPO and JULIE EUGLEY mind my real-world affairs so I can live in my imagination.
TABITHA KING, my wife and best critic, pointed out the soft places and urged me to fix them. Which I did, to the best of my ability. I love her a bunch.
Thanks to all of you, and special thanks to THE ROCK BOTTOM REMAINDERS, who taught me you're never too old to rock and roll and have kept me high-stepping to "In the Midnight Hour" since 1992. Key of E. All that shit starts in E.
