11/22/63 is dedicated to Zelda...I can't remember the exact wording, but am assuming that it's Owen and Kelly's daughter.
Still cant find out anything about Susan Artz. Maybe the name was changed to protect the innocent...
On the german SK page, ´we´ have the translated versions of ´several dedications:

11/22/63 is dedicated: For Zelda, welcome to the party.
Any idea who Zelda is?
It's his newest grandchild. He explains this in the Afterword.
Ah, thanks. I haven't read the book yet.
He planned to dedicate it to someone else (I won't say who) changed his mind when the new family member arrived.
Wouldn't that have been a kick in the pants? No, to another author whose work he identifies as being inspirational for this book.

Quote:
When I was playing my primitive brand of rhythm guitar with a group called the Rock Bottom Remainders, Warren Zevon used to gig with us. Warren loved gray t-shirts and movies like Kingdom of the Spiders. He insisted I sing lead on his signature tune, “Werewolves of London,” during the encore portion of our shows. I said I was not worthy. He insisted that I was. “Key of G,” Warren told me, “and howl like you mean it. Most important of all: play like Keith.”
I’ll never be able to play like Keith Richards, but I always did my best, and with Warren beside me, matching me note for note and laughing his fool head off, I always did my best.
Warren this howl is for you, wherever you are. I miss you, buddy.
Very cool inscription. I've said this before, but its worth stating again (at least to me) that I met Warren Zevon before he reached fame. I heard Werewolves of London before it was even released! That and a few other songs as well! All on the island of Kauai in 1977 I think.
Thank you to jhanic for the dedication from Revival:
