Acknowledgments

Of course, it’s a cliché to say, “This book would not be possible without X person.”  However, it’s a cliché because it’s true.  At least in my case.  While being a writer lends itself to having some editorial skills, they only get me so far.  It’s been my family and friends, whom I’ve tortured with rewrite after rewrite, who point out to me when a section of the story is unclear or even little grammatical errors I may miss who have kept me in line.  For that, I thank you all.

To you the reader, for your trust, for your patience, I cannot express enough gratitude.  Like Jason and the Argonauts we are headed on a journey to great things.  May we not get eaten along the way.

Dedicated to:

Stuart B. Franklin (1981-2003)
