I would also like to thank all my excellent, hardworking editors, above all Rickard Berghorn of the journal Minotaur and Kent Björnsson of the publishing firm Schakt, who have taken good care of many of my short stories, as well as Lotta Aquilonius at Wahlström & Widstrand, who took equally good care of Echoes from the Dead.
My mother, Margot Theorin, deserves a considerable eulogy for all the old and new books and newspaper articles about life on Öland with which she has so generously supplied me.
And finally, thank you and a big hug to Helena and Klara for putting up with my daydreaming.
Johan Theorin
