Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Rebecca Zins, Elysia Gallo, Bill Krause, Sandra Weschcke, Kat Sanborn, Anna Levine, Katie Mickschl, and everyone at Llewellyn. I would also like to thank my boyfriend, Ted Bruner, and my dear friends and magical support system: Ellen Dugan, Rachel Avalon, Angela Taylor, Janine Jordan, and Sedona Ruiz.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Acorn, whose adorable face and huge green eyes I so look forward to seeing again one day on the other side.
