Acknowledgments

Many thanks to my editor Theresa Baumgartner and to my cover designer Ziad Ezzat of Feral Creative. This book is much better because of you.

Thanks to my patrons, including J.W. Atkinson, Sandy D’Alene, Stan Peters, Janice Webber, and Donna White, and to my early readers and reviewers.

Special thanks to Cheryl Shoults, who has been invaluable creating, organizing, and maintaining my author newsletter, website, reader teams, promotions, and a million other items.

To my wife, my children, and my mother: I’m deeply grateful for your encouragement and support.
