Acknowledgments

I want to thank Kellie, Cameron, and Carlie for their love and support. As with all previous books, the sacrifice to give daddy "book time" was real, and required an extra measure of patience.

Thanks, as always, to my co-author and friend, Rick McTague, who drove this project from the beginning. His competence and enthusiasm made this and all six previous projects both enjoyable and successful.

” Shawn Rogers

I would like to first of all thank my family, who (as they did with the previous books) gave me the time and space needed to work on this project, and whose patience and support I deeply appreciate.

And a big "shout out" goes to my good friend and co-author Shawn Rogers, whom I can always count on for timely and in-depth contributions. We easily slipped back into the routine of co-writing, and it made this project seem to go a lot faster. I really enjoy working with him and value our friendship.

” Rick McTague

We would like to jointly thank Jenny Watson, Emmett Dulaney, and Warren E. Wyrostek for their project coordination, editorial assistance, and technical assistance, respectively. It has been a sincere pleasure to work with such an efficient and professional group of individuals.
