Feast of Saints (49 page)

Afterword and Acknowledgements

The accounts of the doings of Hollywood notables mentioned in
Feast of Saints
are imaginary. As far as this author knows, Tom Hanks does not own an isolation tank and there were no problems with Cate Blanchett’s or Liv Tyler’s special effects makeup in
The Lord of the Rings
trilogy. Neither TnT Productions nor Sergei Taranovo exist. However, Michael Strahan is perfectly capable of pulling a nifty swing move. When real people are mentioned, Peter, Terry, Guillermo, Raoul, Quentin,
et al
., it is out of a deep respect for their work and their craft.

Writing is not a solitary process. I owe you big time, Bigtime and little man, and family and friends, for your time, encouragement and thoughtful critiques, especially Anna, Jean, Debbie, Elizabeth, Becky, Pat, Amanda and Sarah.

Thank you to the talented and hardworking cover artist extraordinaire, Clarissa Yeo. You can contact Clarissa via her website, www.bookcoversale.com.
