I want to thank all of my friends and family that have supported me through this venture: to Geraldine, whose constant support and excitement for this book kept me going; to Gameknight999, who forced me to try Minecraft and inspired the writing of this book; to Chad, who was always helpful and supportive, and was an always energetic sounding board; and my wonderful wife, whose confidence in me kept me going when the road became rough and my motivation waned. And especially, thank you to all the readers who have reached out to me. Your thoughtful comments motivate me to work harder so that the next book is even better than the last.
