Acknowledgments

When you think about a writer at work, you may picture a solitary figure hunched over a keyboard. The reality is a little different: it really does take a whole community to produce a book.

First, my heartfelt thanks go to my editor, Jackie Carter. Jackie guided me through the entire process. There were any number of times I would have been hopelessly lost without her. What’s more, Jackie has a knack for asking probing questions designed to elicit details that previously existed only in my head and reminding me I needed to write those details down. The result is a much more complete, well-rounded, and readable book. If you find the book hangs together as a cohesive whole, thank Jackie. (If you don’t, blame me.)

I’m also thankful ...
