Acknowledgements

I would like to thank

Carol Ackerman for being a great editor. You have been patient through all my adventures and all my trials. I enjoy working with you and look forward to continuing to do so.

Laura Lewin for being patient with me through the process of learning to work with an agent.

Rachel Carmichael and Kimberly Floss, my technical reviewers. The chapters that I barely remember writing while Adam was in the hospital were probably tough to read. Thank you for your patience. I promise, the Great Spirit will smile on you for this experience some day!
