To Takenya & Sam.

You make me a better person by letting me see the world through your eyes.

 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

I would be nowhere without the love, aid and support of my wife Liberty, whose undying passion to help me recognize my dream literally makes my head spin.

 

Thanks to Jen Kirchner and Alan Edwards for their belief, support, and good sense of humor, which is more invaluable to me than they know.

 

Thanks to Barry for putting together such a fantastic cover on such short notice.

 

And thanks to all of the authors I’ve met online, who inspire me every day with their enthusiasm and their diligence. Keep it up, gang. The best is yet to come.
