Books can be like valentines. The dedications and acknowledgments show that you care and appreciate certain people enough to acknowledge them in your most precious creative efforts. Here I share the dedications for all four books in my urban fantasy series.
And to the memories of John Albert Suter Brennan,
Saichi Kawahara [not pictured], and my uncle, David E.O. Rath.”
Saichi Kawahara was my ukulele teacher and bandleader of the Kapalakiko Hawaiian Band in the San Francisco Bay Area. I remember his kindness to me (even though I was not a good student), as well as his solidarity with the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
And to Loki Laufeyjarson, my fulltrúi and muse.”
and my tantric gazing love, Michael Rossman, who would have been so amused by these books.
And to my fulltrúi, partner, and muse, Loki Laufeyjarson, again and again.”
