Acknowledgments

Writing a book does indeed take a village. Although my name appears as the author, I simply could not have made this book a reality without many other people who were more than willing to help me achieve the final product you now hold in your hands.

Special thanks to Candace Hall, who discovered me and my self-published tome and saw a better, future version of that work; to Lorna Gentry, whose patience and expertise during the editing process has been a lifesaver; to Gina Woods, who provided excellent technical advice; and to all the staff at Que. This book is better, wiser, more complete, and more helpful because of their contributions.
