Acknowledgments: I would like to thank all the members of BluePlace, a discussion and idea list for LGBTI crime fiction, for
allowing me to pick their brains, but Val McDermid, Lori L. Lake, Therese Szymanski, and Drewey Wayne Gunn deserve special
mention. Charlaine Harris and Jim Huang helped me locate statistics. Audrey A. Thompson provided critical commentary and true
friendship (not, thankfully, critical friendship).
