I could probably write books without all these people, but they would be significantly worse books and I would be far more frazzled and possibly short a kidney. Any particularly good bits are probably their fault, and any errors were almost certainly mine, made despite their best efforts to stop me.
I hope your dogs are all loyal and goofy and good-natured and that your chickens remain free of demons.
