Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Joel A. Gonzales, friend and attorney, for setting me straight on a few points of law and other things. Sincere gratitude also to my editor, Sandy Sullivan, for her extraordinary patience and diligence, and for helping keep track of Rex Graves’ to-ing and fro-ing between Edinburgh and Canterbury.

Not least, retrospectively, to Connie Hill, for her editorial assistance with past titles. May she be deservedly enjoying her retirement.
