n of Fried Green Tomatoes。） In fact； everything in Paul's front story … the story of his life at the Georgia Pines old folks； home … turned out to my satisfaction。 I particularly liked the way that Dolan； the orderly； and Percy Wetmore became entwined in Paul's mind。 And that was not something I planned or did on purpose； like the happiest of fictions； it just ambled along and stepped into its place。
I want to thank Ralph Vicinanza for bringing me the … serial thriller … idea in the first place； and all my friends at Viking Penguin and Sig for getting behind it； even though they were scared to death at the beginning （all writers are crazy； and of course they knew that）。 I also want to thank Marsha DeFilippo； who transcribed a whole stenographer's notebook full of my cramped handwriting and never plained。 Well 。。。 rarely plained。
Most of all； though； I want to thank my wife； Tabitha； who read this story and said she liked it。 Writers almost always write with some ideal reader in mind； I think； and my wife is mine。 We don't always see eye to eye when it es to what we each write （hell； we rarely see eye to eye when we're shopping together in the supermarket）； but when she says it's good； it usually is。 Because she's tough； and if I try to cheat or cut a er； she always sees it。
And you； Constant Reader。 Thank you； as well； and if you have any ideas about The Green Mile as a single volume； please let me know。
