Acknowledgments
Writing a book, like any project, requires a dedicated team of folks working together to produce the end product. Once again I've had the privilege to work with the dedicated, talented staff at Sybex to write this book.
First, I'd like to especially thank Elizabeth Hurley Peterson and Neil Edde for giving me the opportunity to write this book. I can't express how grateful I am that you took a chance on a new venue and on me. Thank you, Elizabeth, for suggesting this book; I have had a fantastic time writing it.
Thank you, Colleen Strand, the development editor for this book. What a wonderful help and inspiration you've been! Colleen's terrific suggestions have made this book much better than it would have been otherwise . Thank you for never telling me "enough already" when I sent just one more e-mail about some topic, change, or suggestion … even up to the last minute.
Kylie Johnston, the production editor, did a terrific job as usual. Thank you for keeping me on track and coordinating all those last-minute fixes. Thanks also to Linda Recktenwald, the copy editor, for cleaning up all my grammatical blunders and for some great suggestions for improvement and clarification of the text.
As always, there are a host of behind-the-scenes folks who put a great deal of effort into making this book the best it can be. Thanks to these folks at Sybex as well: Kate Reber of Happenstance Type-O-Rama, for compositing the book; Jeff Wilson of Happenstance Type-O-Rama, for creating the line art; Emily Hsuan, Laurie O'Connell, and Nancy Riddiough, for proofreading the pages; and Nancy Guenther, for indexing the book.
Another special thanks to Patti Jansen, who reviewed every word of this book for accuracy and adherence to sound project management principles. Her suggestions and comments were valid and helpful, and they served to make the book stronger and the material clearer. Thanks, Patti.
Many times throughout the writing of this book I had the great pleasure of working side-by-side with my granddaughter, Kate. You may be astonished by this, but, at four years old, she's written her first book (she's a genius, what can I say?). I must say she wrote her book much faster than I wrote this one. Juliette, another very special sweetie, worked with me many times as well (she's a genius, too).
Last but not least, thank you to my husband and best friend, BB. You are truly an inspiration to me, and without your support, encouragement, and prayers, I wouldn't be where I am today.
