Steampunk!: An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories (49 page)

We'd like to thank Kelly's wonderful agent, Renee Zuckerbrot, and her fabulous assistant, Sarah McCarry, who saved our bacon (or in Gavin's case, facon) a number of times along the way. Deb Noyes Wayshak and everyone at Candlewick for their enthusiasm. What fun they made this! The authors, especially Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, who let us bend their ears about the book as we hashed it out in Holly's car while driving from New York to Northampton, Massachusetts. And also Cory Doctorow, Jeff VanderMeer, Liz Gorinsky, Bruce Sterling and William Gibson, Hayao Miyazaki, and all those who introduced us to the burgeoning world of steampunk!
