Acknowledgments

Being a writer is about making sacrifices, and I'd like to thank all those whose generous support helped me complete this book. My friends, who understood when my writing meant I couldn't spend time with them. My family, who have learned to accept that even when on vacation, I still have to work. And my writers' group, who understood my absences, and were always happy to see me on the rare occasions that I could join them.

Thanks, guys. This one's for you.
