To Terri, my wife, who has somehow managed to
stay sane while living with an author—no mean
accomplishment! And to Ed Slonaker and his company,
El Pilon Productions, for his wonderful work on my Web
site, www.jamesmthompson.com. And last, but certainly
not least, to two other wonderful women in my life,
my mom, Winnie Thompson, and my sister,
Bobbie Jean Walker, for always being there for me.
