Finding Tulsa 25

Acknowledgements

In the two decades of developing this novel, many people assisted. First,
thanks to Mark Hemry of Palm Drive Publishing for his steadfast help.
Early critiques from Trebor Healey, K.M. Soehnlein, and Stephen Leblanc
inspired many rewrites, as did my editor Jerry Wheeler. Thanks also to
my colleagues for their praise: David Ehrenstein, Jack Fritscher, Marc
Huestis, Sam Irvin, Tim Miller, Felice Picano and John Weir. My Los
Angeles friends aided in ways they may not know: Eric Gutierrez, Marcus
Kuiland-Nazario, David Touster and others. Max Leger made the book’s
cover design great. And thanks to my brother Paul Provenzano, who knows
what is and isn’t fiction. To the many others no longer with us—too many
to name—this is for you. Thanks for watching.
