Rabbit
PUBLISHER'S NOTEAs of February 2014, the author, Jared John Smith, has been out of contact with the publisher. We are unable to locate him and hope he is happy and well. Per our contract, we opted to publish the book but decided to continue forward from the last place we had input from the author himself. You'll see our editorial notes and conversations with the author, but we wanted the book to be as close to what we saw as our shared vision for Rabbit.
