Every book has a team of people behind it that gets it out into the hands of readers like you. I want to thank my team at Llewellyn for the hard work that happens from the time I submit my idea to my acquisitions editor, Angela Wix, who presents it to the board for approval, until I hold the book in my hands. This includes everyone in the legal, editorial, production, design, publicity, marketing, and sales departments. Every book is a team effort, and I appreciate each and every one of you.
I wouldn’t be able to write without the support I have here at home. As always, thanks go out to my husband and kids, for understanding that earplugs are sometimes my best friends and that quick, easy-to-make dinners will suffice when deadlines are fast approaching.
To my parents, for their belief in me and checking to see how the book is coming along.
I have to give a very special thanks to my readers for your support. I write to teach others as we walk this pathway together and your feedback, questions, and correspondence is what keeps me writing more. Thank you!
