Thank you to every single person I've met on my very brief stops in North America.
Thank you for making this real.
I will never be able to describe the infinite joy of seeing somebody from the other side of a screen, on the other side of a table, shaking my hand, asking for a hug, or a picture.
I am forever humbled by the kindness and generosity of spirit that inhabits so many of the people who read the things I write under the pictures Jon takes.
Thank you to the book stores, particularly Barnes & Noble, for allowing us the space and time to connect with each other.
Thank you to my publisher, Michelle, who, with very little prior experience, arranged all of this and made it happen.
Thank you for the things you've said, for listening to me read, for the questions you asked.
I am completely and utterly aware of the fact that very few people in the world are lucky enough to do what they enjoy for a living. I will not squander the opportunities you, my readers, have given me.
I am, forever, in your debt.
With every fibre of my being,
Thank you.
