I've always found it difficult to write a book dedication . . . even the one line dedication in the front page of a book. Now that I've dedicated three books to my wife, three or four to my kids, one to my parents, two to my grandmother, and yes, even one to my in-laws . . . it's getting creative.
For School's Out, I simply dedicated the book: To Calvary United Methodist Church. That covers everyone. That, and I've signed over all of my royalties to Calvary, too . . . so I hope the sales will be brisk.
I've often wanted to dedicate books in a way that would be wholly unique, too. For example, how about:
To the woman in Dunkin' Donuts who took my job . . . go dunk yourself!
To the mechanic who changes the oil in my 1991 Caprice wagon . . . I left a tip under the floor mat (those dimes and nickels are yours)!
To the driving instructor at A+ who works with my son . . . you got nerve, buddy!
To all the people who throw McDonalds sacks in my yard every week . . . I ain't lovin' it!

Have you dedicated anything to your son's pet spider yet?
To the Brownsburg pet shop, for taking the big hairy thing off my hands (not talking about my wife)!
