Author's Note

The stories that follow are works of fiction. Any references to historical events; to real people, living or dead; or to real locales are intended to give the stories a sense of authenticity. Characters and their names, and the incidents where they appear are the product of the author's imagination, and their resemblance, if any, to real-life counterparts is entirely coincidental.

Yeah, right.
