Acknowledgements and DedicationAs with any work of fiction, there are so many people to thank, for their support and belief in what I try to do. For all the staff at Next Chapter, a huge thank you for your faith; for Elmore Leonard and Robert B Parker, for inspiring me to write a Western which is relative to our world; and to my friends who have always been there, but, for this one, most especially to my best friend, Ray. We've seen so many Westerns together and enjoyed every one. I hope he enjoys this, for it is for him.
