Bobcat and Other Stories Part 12

This book was written with thanks to (but not about) my family: Don and Marilyn Lee, Emma Beke and Stephen Beke, Wendy Arnold, Steve Arnold, Joshua Arnold, Jessica Arnold, Eric Lee, Janya Wongsopa, John Beke, Allison Beke, Paul Beke, Alexander Bilson, and Kate Bilson.

Many thanks to writers and friends in Wilmington: Dana Sachs, Todd Berliner, Karen Bender, Robert Siegel, Nina de Gramont, David Gessner, Philip Gerard, Phil Furia, Jill Gerard, Mark c.o.x, Malena Morling, Sarah Messer, Michael White (Picture me floating down through the fires of this day and the next), John Sullivan, Mariana Johnson, Hannah Abrams, Kimi Faxon Hemingway, Emily Smith, Ben George, Tim Ba.s.s, Lavonne Adams, Clyde Edgerton, Kristina Edgerton, Virginia Holman, Megan Hubbard, Beau Bishop, Lisa Bertini, Peter Trachtenberg, and Wendy Brenner, who routinely says lines so funny that I try to immediately put them into stories, plagiarism that she cheerfully tolerates.

Many thanks also to C. Michael Curtis, Sumanth Prabhaker, Adrienne Brodeur, Nicole Winstanley, and Leslie Bienen.

And also, to Doug Stewart, who is the best, fastest, nicest, and smartest agent in the world.

And to everyone at Algonquin, huge thanks: Elisabeth Scharlatt, Ina Stern, Brunson Hoole, Anne Winslow, Kelly Bowen, Debra Linn, Emma Boyer, Chuck Adams, Lauren Moseley, Katie Ford, Craig Popelars. And thank you to Kathy Pories, whose thinking is poised perfectly, at every moment, between serious and funny.
