Authors: Linda Holeman

Special loving thanks to Marty for accompanying me to Portugal and the Madeira Archipelago on my two research trips, and for always encouraging me to go one step further when I think I’ve reached my limit. Your unflagging belief in me and your own inspiring knowledge and wisdom in the world of creation and imagination during our daily “story time” provided endless motivation and moral support over the writing of this book.

And, of course, I thank my children with all my heart. Zalie, Brenna and Kitt, you provide me with unwavering encouragement not only in my writing life but in all aspects of my world, and you continue to amaze and inspire me with your own richly challenging and diverse lives.
