Acknowledgments

Many good folks were behind the scenes helping me put this book together. The saga started with my delightful editor, Julie Ganz, encouraging me to take on the project.

For the research and development, aides in my office helped with an assortment of literary “relief pitching.” These include the likes of Scott Charles, Allyson Gronowitz, Adrian Szkolar, Jaclyn Matisak, Michael Cotton, Kirsten Ambrosio, Darren Im, Rakhee Kulkarni, Steve Simineri, Ricky Cibrano, Al Zelazo, and Mike Valente.
