I am deeply appreciative of Peter Lang Publishing, for believing in this unusual project and giving it a chance to be shared with the world. My sincere gratitude goes out to the publisher’s fine team of peer reviewers, whose thorough direction and helpful scholarly guidance was most useful. A magnificent bouquet of flowers and shout out for excellence and artful editing goes to Dani Green for her kind, supportive, open, and thorough editing. Dani, it is because of your incredibly patient reading, adding-in of commas, encouraging, and creative feed-back, that this book has made it into the world!
The community and dogs of Bowen Island, thank you. Thank you, Caroline, for your friendship, and for introducing me to Dorene and Bruce Russel. My heartfelt thanks go out to the Russels for their light-filled presence, warmth and generous hospitality. Thank you for letting me stay at your coastal oasis, healing abode and sea-side cottage, Costalotta. The sounds and rhythms of the tide in play with seagulls and geese have rocked, calmed, stirred, and called this book into being.
