Acknowledgments
The author would like to thank the tawdry circus of characters who nursed this project to completion. First, Jim Minatel, who is unlike any other editor in this realm, in that he is actually helpful, kind, somewhat intelligent, and a pleasure to work with. Kelly Talbot is the real reason this book got done at all. His patience and professionalism are unmatched by any mortal being, and there is not enough praise that can be directed his way. Kelly— thank you. That’s all I can say. Katie Wisor is constantly charming and always seems happy, which is maddening and bizarre when most of the people involved in the publishing world are in no way like that whatsoever. She’s also incredibly capable and thorough in every way, and she was instrumental in making this book useful and correct. The technical reviewer, Jerry Rayome, fixed so many, many problems, improving amazingly on my feeble efforts, offering great suggestions, and nailing down pieces I’d completely missed. Finally, the author’s partner, Robin, who exhibited a virtuoso patience of her own, while constantly offering support, and the dog Jake, who didn’t live to see the end of the writing of the book but was a constant joy throughout the parts he was around for.
