Acknowledgements

I could not have asked for a better editor than Kat Mototsune for guiding this book from concept to completion. Thanks Kat for listening to my mid-morning ramblings as I talked through the characters and plot, as well as your comments and insights on spirituality and the true meaning of love.

I would not have had the courage to write this book were it not for the love and support of Mette Bach and Billeh Nickerson. You are both an inspiration to me.

Lastly, to my peeps who put up with me while I wrote this book: Dean Mirau, Ryan Wylie, Dan Harwood, Chris Dorey, and Bren Robbins. They say no man is a failure who has friends; I am living proof of that.
