AUTHOR'S NOTE

I am grateful for the help of the following people: My wife, Elba, who read Yarn to me out loud; my daughter, Caroline; my dad and mom who looked at many drafts; Lee, who also slogged through some of the early versions; my agent, Ginger; my editors, Juliet and Marty; and at Night Shade Books, Jason, Jeremy, and Ross.

I would also like to thank Wikipedia, my professors at FIT, and my fans.

Jon Armstrong is the author of the critically acclaimed "fashionpunk" novel Grey. The son of parents trained in the Arts, he was raised in the shadow of Modernism and misspelled his way through school. In college, he spent a formative year in Japan. That neon/noisy culture forms the roots of the world in his novels. After college, he traveled the world as a by-product of stints at travel agencies and an airline, studied fashion design, did stand-up comedy, worked as a temp doing graphic arts, and (still to this day) designs web sites.

Jon lives with his wife and daughter in New York City. He is currently working on the third book in the Grey/Yarn series as well as the golf swing of the future.
